In the battle to defend the network security environment, the attack and defense war between Hongke and hackers is not equal. Although the tools, frameworks and technologies used in the attack and defense tend to be transparent and overlapping, there are great differences in thinking and perspective.
The reason for this is that attacks from the hacker’s perspective seek the path of least resistance to achieve their goals:
(1) Achieve the goal with the least access
(2) Eliminate traces to the maximum extent
(3) Use the least number of code security vulnerabilities
So, when hackers aim for high returns, they will use a variety of techniques and methods to find and attack code vulnerabilities. While finding and exploiting vulnerabilities can take a lot of time, there are experienced hackers who use some creative methods to find vulnerabilities in their systems. This requires enterprise security personnel to understand which parts of software code are most attractive to hackers in order to develop and effectively improve their defense strategies.
Dr. Li Lian, chairman of Zhongke Tianqi and researcher of the Institute of Computing Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, once pointed out the following points in his speech on code security detection and prevention in the software security Forum, saying that finding loopholes from the perspective of hackers is helpful to improve and optimize the security defense ability of the code.
1. Work on known vulnerabilities
In general, known high-risk vulnerabilities (Cves) are not a significant target for hackers because they are often heavily monitored by enterprise security personnel, but a known CVE is an excellent entry point for finding such hidden errors in code. In the whole software development cycle, the code deployed by the enterprise will be reused and recycled, which provides convenient conditions for hackers to infiltrate the system environment, because while repairing the vulnerabilities of the current version of the software, it also exposes the relevant vulnerabilities in the code of the previous version. Therefore, code security detection is a shortcut for hackers to find vulnerabilities and enter the system, and it is also an important means for development enterprises to effectively discover code vulnerabilities and repair them as soon as possible.
2. Unsolicited code comments
In the hacker’s eyes, the source code is a treasure map about to get treasure. Developers often mark known errors after traversal during code writing, but due to the development schedule stacking, these problems cannot be resolved in time, and the problem code is directly into production without fixing, which also gives attackers an opportunity. Therefore, it is important to conduct code security checks before the software goes live to eliminate security holes caused by code specifications/defects.
For the defenders of enterprises, they have been focusing on increasing the difficulty of hacking, but I do not know that it is this difference in thinking and perspective that leads to the defenders, no matter how they make defensive strategies, it is still difficult to completely avoid the attack of hackers. Therefore, only by understanding the potential impact of the code and its possibility of being invaded can we effectively focus the attention of the defenders and take targeted reinforcement measures, so as to improve the security defense ability.
With the strong support of The Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wukong software source code static inspection and analysis tool independently developed by Zhongke Tianqi can help enterprises find, identify and track the security vulnerabilities caused by code specifications/defects during the process of code writing in the software development stage. Early warning and repair of code vulnerabilities can reduce vulnerability risks after software runs and improve security capability against network attacks.
Wukong (Wukong) software source code static detection tool
It supports the detection of security vulnerabilities and defects in software products written in C/C++, Java, Python, JS, HTML, PHP and other mainstream programming languages. Its detection “depth” is deeper, “speed” is faster, “precision” is more accurate, “range” is wider, and makes up for the SAST tool can not support domestic operating system and domestic chip shortage, support Ubuntu, CentOS mainstream Linux environment deployment; Support bid-winning Kirin, Galaxy Kirin and other domestic operating systems deployment; Support high concurrent user distributed deployment of localized autonomous control static code security detection tool.
