Currently, website vulnerability scanning and detection is typically conducted through static scanning to identify security issues such as vulnerabilities and backdoors. The presence of vulnerabilities is used to determine whether a website is "safe." This detection method typically relies on the "features" of vulnerabilities. The following is a brief introduction by InsightSec.
Behavior-based bidirectional flow anomaly detection not only identifies abnormal attacks in request messages but also detects backdoor fingerprint information contained in returned pages. When an event is discovered that indicates the existence of a WEBSHELL backdoor, it can confirm the specific server on which the backdoor is implanted, the corresponding backdoor page, and the path where the backdoor exists. This can help with timely warnings and facilitate problem resolution. At the same time, through associated analysis based on captured source IP addresses and attack methods, the attack source can be traced and located, thus avoiding similar attacks on other servers.
In order to address various known and unknown threats that a website may face, abnormal behavior must be detected for all types of access in network traffic, including bidirectional analysis of request packets and response content. Through an unsigned dynamic behavior analysis mechanism, abnormal access behavior can be judged to discover various hidden attack events.
Behavior-based bidirectional flow anomaly detection can promptly identify virus and propagation events on websites. By monitoring all behavior related to downloading website files, if a file is found to contain a virus, it can be determined that the file on the server has been confirmed as a virus and is spreading to more client hosts. This type of event not only affects the website server but may also affect more client hosts.
