We are happy to announce that we are attending ReCoSoC 2019! Our paper “The AV says: Your hardware definitions were updated!” (by Marcus Botacin, Lucas Galante, Fabrício Ceschin, Paulo Cesar Santos, Luigi Carro, Paulo Licio de Geus, André Grégio and Marco Zanata) was accepted in this conference. The idea of Read more…
The Industry Federation of Paraná hosted this week the CYBERSEC International Cyber Security Forum, an event discussing the cyber security challenges from an industry perspective. SECRET was represented by André Grégio, SECRET’s principal investigator, as an invited debate moderator.
Security is a cross-disciplinary field and its concepts should be applied to multiple contexts. SECRET research is focused on systems security and covers the following platforms: Android Malware (Check an example Here) Linux Malware (Check an example Here) Windows Malware (Check an example Here)
A significant part of SECRET activities is to teach security fundamentals for undergraduate and graduate students. Check our some of SECRET courses. Introduction to Security Concepts (Check Here) Binary Monitoring Fundamentals (Check Here) Binary Exploitation (Check Here) Reverse Engineering Introduction (Check Here) Hardware-Assisted System Monitoring (Check Here)
Most part of SECRET research is dedicated to malware analysis and hardware-assisted security, tasks which heavily rely on kernel drivers, either by their privileged monitoring capabilities or by their hardware-software interface, so SECRET researchers are often programming kernel drivers. SECRET researchers have experience programming Windows x64 drivers. Check a basic Read more…
Malware is the main SECRET research line, thus SECRET researchers are often reverse engineering malware samples. A key SECRET principle is to strongly rely on in-house developed analysis tools. We here share a bit of the SECRET-developed tools. A daily task at SECRET is to perform binary static analysis to Read more…
As an academic laboratory, SECRET graduates Master and PhD students. More than papers, SECRET make the full-text of their dissertations and PhDs available online. If you are interested, check them here.
Academic papers are often published by specialized editorial companies, thus being available only for subscribers. Fortunately, authors have the right to archive their published papers in their own website. Therefore, if you want to access SECRET papers and you are not a publisher subscriber, click in the links button in Read more…
A key principle of science is reproducibility, for allowing both results confirmation (or disprove them) as well as applying the developed knowledge in benefit of the whole society. SECRET researchers believe that sharing knowledge is essential, thus the datasets used in SECRET’s research work are always made available as soon Read more…
