Abstract

With the development of Trojan horse detection technology, the survivability of the Trojan hidden in the space of operating systems becomes more and more weak. As a result, more kernel hidden and hardware hidden techniques have been proposed and applied to the design of new Trojans. Because of the complexity and diversity of kernel hiding technologies and the emergence of hardware Trojans, detection becomes more and more difficult. We propose a black-box model to simplify the communication processing system of a computer. The modules of complex communication processing in the kernel of the operating system and the hardware are reduced to a black box with two end points. Hidden traffic can be easily extracted regardless of the Trojan hidden technologies. After this, a special-Trojan detection system based on the extraction of the hidden traffic is present. The experimental result has demonstrated the usage of the traffic extract model.
