The program protection device () includes an encoding unit () and an output unit (). An encoding unit () encodes a program to be protected according to a specific encoding algorithm, and stores information used for decoding the encoded program in a relocation table of the encoded program. The output unit () outputs the program encoded by the encoding unit () as a protected program.

A rule generation apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to enumerate rule candidates with different degrees of abstraction as candidates for a rule for detecting a malware trace using an analysis result of malware, and calculate evaluation values of the rule candidates enumerated using a predetermined evaluation function and sort a rule from among the rule candidates based on the evaluation values.

A conversion device includes processing circuitry configured to receive a programmable signature as a target to be analyzed and symbolized data and/or a log as an input value, analyze the programmable signature by using a symbolic execution engine, and output a conditional branching process executed on the input value as a constraint on the input value and receive the output constraint on the input value, perform field conversion from the constraint on the input value to an output format based on a table of field name correspondence between formats, and output a static signature.

Conversion device and conversion program

For the purpose of reproducing a call stack accurately without restricting the range of application, a stack scanner extracts, from a stack area of a thread whose call stack is to be acquired in a memory space of an application process, possible return addresses that are addresses in a feasible region in the memory space each representing a command right after a function call command. A program analyzer analyzes a control flow representing a flow of control configured by a branch in a function that is called by the function call command right before the command represented by each of the possible return addresses and, when there is a route reaching a command currently being executed in the control flow, determines that the possible return address is a return address and, when there is not the route, determines that the possible return address is not a return address.

Call stack acquisition device, call stack acquisition method and call stack acquisition program

A call stack acquisition device reproduces, from a memory dump, a memory space of a process to which a thread as a production target of a call stack belongs. Then, the call stack acquisition device acquires execution context of the thread by acquiring, from a virtual memory space, register information of the thread, which is stored in a memory by an OS. In addition, the call stack acquisition device acquires a current stack position and a currently executed function from the acquired execution context. Thereafter, the call stack acquisition device acquires the call stack by tracing return addresses of a series of functions as callers of the currently executed function on the stack from metadata of an execution file of the process including the thread.

An information processing device and method that monitor a behavior of malware (program), and generate a log which associates identification information of an invoked library function, input data to the library function, output data from the library function and a taint tag for uniquely specifying output data every time the program invokes a library function. Further, the information processing device and method refer to a taint tag set to output data from an information processing device and a log, track a dependent relationship between items of data input and output to and from libraries and specify a library function which has generated the output data from the information processing device.

Information processing system and information processing method

An information processing apparatus includes an adding unit and an identifying unit. The adding unit adds, to data received from a communication destination device by a program to be analyzed, a tag, by which the communication destination device is identifiable. If the tag has been added to data executed by a new program when an activation of or an activation reservation for the new program is detected, the identifying unit identifies the communication destination device identified by the tag.
