| Abstract | Modern malware like Stuxnet is complex and exploits multiple vulnerabilites in not only the user level processes but also the OS kernel to compromise a system. A main trait of such exploits is manipulation of control flow. There is a pressing need to diagnose such exploits. Existing solutions that monitor control flow either have large overhead or high false positives and false negatives, hence making their deployment impractical. In this paper, we present Total-CFI, an efficient and practical tool built on a software emulator, capable of exploit detection by enforcing system-wide Control Flow Integrity (CFI). Total-CFI performs punctual guest OS view reconstruction to identify key guest kernel semantics like processes, code modules and threads. It incorporates a novel thread stack identification algorithm that identifies the stack boundaries for different threads in the system. Furthermore, Total-CFI enforces a CFI policy - a combination of whitelist based and shadow call stack based approaches to monitor indirect control flows and detect exploits. We provide a proof-of-concept implementation of Total-CFI on DECAF, built on top of Qemu. We tested 25 commonly used programs and 7 recent real world exploits on Windows OS and found 0 false positives and 0 false negatives respectively. The boot time overhead was found to be no more than 64.1% and the average memory overhead was found to be 7.46KB per loaded module, making it feasible for hardware integration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
