PeaceMaker Threat Detection

PeaceMaker Threat Detection is a kernel-mode utility designed to detect a of methods commonly used in ad forms of malware. Compared to a stereotypical anti-virus that may detect or patterns, PeaceMaker targets the techniques malware commonly uses in order to catch them in the act. Furthermore, PeaceMaker is designed to provide an incredible amount of detail when a malicious technique is detected, allowing for effecti and response.

Moti

PeaceMaker was designed primarily as a weapon to detect custom malware in en. Specifically, this project was started in pursuit of preparing for the Information Security Talent Search blue/red team competition hosted by RIT's Security Club, RITSEC. The competition's red team is primarily industry security professionals, which is why I decided my own defense platform would be useful. In a project like this, I can make sacrifices to factors such as performance that widely-employed AV/EDR companies can't make, allowing me to make decisions I couldn't get away with in a real product.

Features

View what code started a process (stack trace).

View what code loaded an image into a process (stack trace).

Detect unmapped (hidden) code Walking common operations such as:

- Process Creation
- Image Load
- Thread Creation

Detect remote thread creation.

Detect parent process ID spoofing.

Detect threat creation on unmapped (hidden) code.

Block basic tamper operations on the GUI Client.

Block filesystem/registry write, delete, or execute operations that a user-specified filter.

Detect filesystem/registry write, delete, or execute operations that a user-specified filter.

- Logs the source process and stack of the operation.

Filter for known false positives.

Notable properties

Heavily commented code.

All detection routines are in the kernel driver.

Designed to detect user-mode malware.

Tested using Dri standard configuration.

Tested by putting it on my "daily driver" laptop and monitoring for issues (none occurred).

Shortcomings

Inefficient time and space complexity.

- Performs useful, but expensi that slow down common operations.
- Often allocates more memory than needed, doesn't utilize space optimization techniques such as compression.

Weak operation filtering mechanism.

- For example, filters that prevent deletion of a file or registry key can be bypassed.
- You can only filter on the target of an operation (i.e file/key name).

Weak tamper protection.

- Only protects against process termination of the GUI, nothing else.

Incomplete GUI.
