Mustafa Paksoy '07
will discuss his summer research work
with Professor Ben Kuperman
"
Computer Security: Audit Log Generation with Interposable Libraries
"
Computer security monitoring systems work by recording event data and scanning
it for abnormalities and known attacks. The accuracy and effectiveness of
these systems is limited by the quality of the data they opeate on (the famous
garbage in garbage out effect). Over the summer we designed and implemented a
system that generates security logs by intercepting calls to system library
functions with interposing libraries. This talk will discuss the capabilities
and shortcomings of library interposition, its place in computer security
monitoring, and our particular implementation of it.
