Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Software for protecting computers or evidence preservation is critical to protecting computers. This software sometimes becomes an attack target because it is an obstacle to attackers. Attackers identify the service on a computer firstly. If the service is found, they disable it and achieve their goals. On the other hand, attackers utilize not only application programs but also an operating system to attack the computer. To address these problems, we propose an attack avoiding method to complicate identification of essential services by a virtual machine monitor. In particular, our method monitors access to running information or related files of essential services and controls the visibility of that information. Our method requires no modification to existing essential services and provides greater security for essential services.
