Now you see me, now you don't: chasing evasive malware - Giovanni Vigna Lastline, Inc.
This document discusses evasive malware and techniques for detecting it. It begins with an introduction of the author and their background in malware research. It then covers how malware has evolved over time to target systems and evade detection. Various techniques used by malware to evade static and dynamic analysis are described. The document argues that eliciting dormant code and introducing honey-users could help with detection. It concludes that visibility is key to tracking evasive malware and more advanced analysis methods are needed.
Reacting to Advanced, Unknown Attacks in Real-Time with LastlineLastline, Inc.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Engin Kirda on reacting to advanced cyberattacks in real-time using Lastline's detection platform. The presentation discusses how malware has become more sophisticated, evasive, and targeted. Lastline takes a unique approach to detection by using full system emulation in their sandbox environment, which allows them to detect malware that evades traditional antivirus solutions and virtualized sandboxes. The Lastline platform components work together to analyze suspicious files, correlate events into high-level incidents, share threat intelligence, and help automatically mitigate breaches across an organization's network in real-time.
This document provides an introduction to malware techniques and classifications. It discusses the different types of malware like viruses, worms, trojans, and botnets. Viruses are classified based on their target (boot sector, files, data files) and infection mechanism (fast/slow infectors, camouflage). Early viruses included boot sector and file infectors, while macro viruses became more prevalent later as Microsoft applications gained popularity. Detection and naming of malware is challenging due to the lack of standardization and fast evolution of threats.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was a Hungarian physiologist who received the 1937 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering vitamin C and for his research on cellular respiration.

Some of his major accomplishments include isolating vitamin C from plants like paprika and studying the biochemistry of muscle movement and cancer. Due to his opposition to communism in Hungary, he emigrated to the United States in 1947 where he continued his research until his death in 1986.

The document also covers challenges posed by malware evasion techniques and ways analysis systems can work to bypass triggers and detect stalling code.
Most Ransomware Isn’t As Complex As You Might Think – Black Hat 2015 Lastline, Inc.
Ransomware has been widely touted as a highly-dangerous, sophisticated and destructive breed of malware – but according to recent research into the constraints, commonalities and advancements across 15 ransomware families – most ransomware today is actually more of a blunt instrument than a surgical tool in exploit kits. While certainly even simple programs can extort innocent people who aren’t able to separate real from fake cyber threats, the vast majority of the ransomware in the wild today is not necessarily as sophisticated or scary as it’s been made out to be. The real impact on victims who don't pay is typically still both reversible and preventable.
Using Static Binary Analysis To Find Vulnerabilities And Backdoors in FirmwareLastline, Inc.
Over the last few years, as the world has moved closer to realizing the idea of the Internet of Things, an increasing number of the analog things with which we used to interact every day have been replaced with connected devices. The increasingly-complex systems that drive these devices have one thing in common – they must all communicate to carry out their intended functionality. Such communication is handled by firmware embedded in the device. And firmware, like any piece of software, is susceptible to a wide range of errors and vulnerabilities.

PINTEREST DEMOGRAPHICS: WHY
RETAILERS SHOULD START PINNING
Retailers fighting for an advantage in an increasingly competitive marketplace are looking for new ways to reach consumers, and
many have discovered Pinterest as a highly effective platform for impacting ecommerce. The image-based social networking site
empowers retailers to convert their social media presence into sales.
70 million people use Pinterest — about 21 percent of all Americans — making it the third most used social network, behind
LinkedIn and Facebook.
Pinterest’s user base added 6 percent of Americans in 2013, the greatest increase for a social networking site. In 2014, Pinterest is
expected to pass LinkedIn to become the second most popular site, trailing only Facebook.
Women make up roughly 79 percent of Pinterest’s user base, which is a high compared to other social sites. Facebook, Twitter and
LinkedIn are all either male dominated or evenly split between male and female. Pinterest offers a unique opportunity for retailers to
directly influence the female demographic.
Women are an important demographic for retailers with 85 percent of women saying they either make purchasing decisions or share
the responsibility. The Center for Emerging Female Leadership found that women account for 58 percent of all total online spending
and 22 percent shop online at least once a day.

PINTEREST POWER: CONVERTING PINS INTO
SALES
Pinterest users have more purchasing power than the average users of
other social networking sites. According to Pew’s research, of online
adults who make $75,000 or more a year, 27 percent use the site.
A recent case study found that during the 2013 holiday shopping
season, Pinterest accounted for 10 percent of all ecommerce referrals.
The research firm Piqora reports that in Q4 2013, each pin by a retailer
generated two site visits, six page views and 78 cents in sales. Wayfair
reports Pinterest users convert at a similar rate as other social media
users, but spend 50 percent more on average.
Piqora’s research also found that 50 percent of orders happen more
than three and a half months after pinning. This proves that pins have
a long shelf life and can impact consumers and sales months after
being uploaded.

MAJOR RETAILERS FINDING SUCCESS TODAY
Currently, retailers dominate the top 10 brands represented on Pinterest by the number of followers. One of Pinterest’s most valuable
assets for retailers is its visual representation of products and services, thus providing the capability to be adapted toward any type of
customer base regardless of vertical.
Home Depot is one of the more active brands pinning, creating new
inspiration and idea boards that coincide with home improvement
offerings. Spanish retailer Zara is one of many luxury brands using
Pinterest to show off style collections. Target uses Pinterest as a way
to gauge interest in specific products, utilizing that information for in-
store product placement decisions and promotions.

6. Search engine spiders see Pinterest boards as an authority when it
comes to ideas and inspiration. Therefore, when people search for
keyword strings that include the words “ideas,” “inspiration” or “DIY,”
Pinterest pages are likely to show up on first page results. Pinterest
also has authority for many other search terms, making a keyword
strategy an important part of optimizing any brand’s social media
presence.
The first step for retailers looking to optimize for search is to create
an eye-catching profile that is easy to find. Brands should have a user
name and profile image that will be easily recognizable to potential
consumers.
Next, retailers should consider search engine optimization when
planning their Pinterest board name and organization strategy.
Instead of just organizing pins by collection, retailers should also
organize them by board theme or idea. Each board also has its own
description field, which should be utilized. Boards should be grouped
by the appropriate category within Pinterest. The more targeted and
optimized the board, the more likely it can be found by both searches
on Pinterest and Google.

RETAILER’S GUIDE TO PINTEREST
BEST PRACTICE #1: IMAGE SELECTION
Pinterest is specifically designed as a visual medium. Retailers that
understand what users are attracted to and how to create eye catching
images for pins will see a higher engagement than those that ignore this.
Curalate looked at a half million Pinterest images and found the mix of
factors that resulted in the most engagement.
Color is important: Images with multiple, vibrant colors had 3.25 times
more repins than those with only one dominant color.
White space is a turn-off: Images with active backgrounds are repined
two-to-four-times more than ones with a solid color background.
Use people, but not faces: Images that included angles of people that
don’t include their face garnered 23 percent more repins. Curalate
found that less than 20 percent of images on Pinterest today include
a face.
BEST PRACTICE #2: UTILIZE RICH PINS
Rich pins allow for businesses to maximize the amount of information
available to Pinterest users. They automatically update with your website
and make shopping or finding information on Pinterest easier. For
retailers, that means being able to include real-time pricing on products,
a company logo and direct links to product pins from other digital assets.
A study from Shopify found that rich pins with prices get 36 percent more
likes and repins than regular pins.
BEST PRACTICE #3: LINK DIRECTLY FROM PIN TO
PRODUCT PAGE
Making the buying process as easy as possible for consumers should be
a top priority. Retailers should link directly to product pages instead of
home pages or other non-related content. The more links and moves a
consumer has to make before buying a product, the less likely they are to
make a final purchase.
BEST PRACTICE #4:USE DESCRIPTIONS STRATEGICALLY
Pinterest is a search engine for inspirations and ideas. Instead of waiting
for products to be put in front of them, pinners actively use it to search
for products. Therefore, retailers should create descriptions that appeal
to users and that can be found using a variety of keywords.

RETAILER’S GUIDE TO PINTEREST
Retailers should be active in promoting Pinterest pages, even away
from the social media site. Retailers are finding success in creating
large Pinterest communities using four main strategies:
1. PIN BUTTONS: Retailers have the ability to attach pin buttons to
product pages on their website. This gives consumers the opportunity
to share products that may not already be featured on Pinterest. It can
also lead shoppers to discover a retailer’s Pinterest page, allowing
them to search for and find new products to purchase.
2. EMAIL CAMPAIGNS: Retailers can send out targeted Pinterest
emails that push people toward specific boards. For example, retailers
can include following Pinterest as part of a campaign promoting a
specific board toward a target audience or using links to pins in emails
instead of links to product pages. Email marketing works when it
comes to gathering Pinterest followers; the Container Store reports
that it gets 7,000 new Pinterest followers for each Pinterest related
email it sends out.
3. WEBSITE INTEGRATION: By utilizing a Pinterest API,
businesses have the ability to showcase the most popular pins on their
website in real-time. This allows for retailers to influence the consumer
buying decision at the discovery phase by showing popular items,
instead of forcing consumers to find them on their own.
4. IN-STORE DISPLAYS: Retailers have the ability to connect
Pinterest and in-store shopping through Pinterest displays. Because
consumers trust the opinions of other shoppers more than what a
retailer promotes, in-store Pinterest displays are a way to promote
product awareness without seeming too promotional.

connecting to product purchases and create ROI.
