Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research focuses on Targeted Cyber Attacks and their countermeasures. Considering that information sharing on targeted attacks is the key for the studies of this field, we first proposed a method to anonymize document malware samples used for the attacks. Moreover, we proposed methods to monitor and detect remote and administration tool (RAT), which is often utilized for targeted attack.
