Threat intelligence can help organizations to study the possible security situation and situation, and make security decisions and emergency response accordingly. However, in order to effectively utilize all kinds of threat intelligence, the expression of threat intelligence needs to be normalized and standardized. The United States has long established and operated a complete set of threat intelligence standard system, while the construction of China's standard system is still in its infancy. This paper summarizes the standardization work of some international countries (organizations) in the field of cyber threat intelligence, and makes a comparative analysis of China's national standard and the American STIX standard from four aspects, such as release history, model framework, information examples and platform application. This paper summarizes the advantages of the standardization of cyber threat intelligence in the United States in terms of project positioning, model construction and ecological construction, and puts forward three suggestions for the standardization of China in the future.

Advanced persistent threat attacks refer to long-term customized attacks on high-value targets, which will leave scattered traces on different hosts. At the same time, attackers will use various technologies to hide their actions in normal system activities, so it is difficult for analysts to observe them. In order to analyze it and take countermeasures, it is necessary to develop a new generation of threat detection and attack reconstruction tools, so that analysts can quickly determine whether there is a major intrusion, understand the process of attackers undermining system security, and determine the impact of attacks. Causality analysis is one of the most concerned methods and has strong robustness. In this paper, the advanced persistent threat attack is briefly introduced first, then the basic attack reconstruction schemes relying on causality analysis are discussed, and the threat detection and attack reconstruction schemes based on anomaly analysis, heuristic and graphic analysis methods are emphatically analyzed. The existing schemes are evaluated, and the challenges faced by the current attack reconstruction system are analyzed. Finally, the potential research directions of attack reconstruction are discussed and prospected.

At present, the form of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against the web application layer is becoming more and more strict. However, the research on the mitigation methods of this kind of DDoS is less and the technology is not mature enough. It mainly focuses on the detection and traffic cleaning in the attack process and lacks active detection methods for the vulnerability of web server resource consumption. Therefore, this paper proposes a detection model and evaluation framework for the vulnerability of web service resource consumption, which can detect the vulnerability of web service resource consumption and evaluate the vulnerability of web service resource consumption. The purpose is to analyze and understand the vulnerability of web service resource consumption before web service is attacked, so as to provide a reference for website security performance optimization and defense measures Support. Through the actual evaluation of a website, the effectiveness of the model and framework is verified. The vulnerability of web service resource consumption can be detected and evaluated through the actual application website, and the vulnerability of web service resource consumption can be found.

In recent years, with the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, a large number of Internet of Things devices have emerged in the cyberspace, such as network printers, network cameras and routers. However, the network security situation is getting worse.  Large-scale network attacks initiated by terminal devices connected to the Internet frequently occur, causing a series of adverse effects, such as information leakage and personnel property damage.  Establishing a fingerprint generation system for IoT devices to accurately identify device types is of great significance to the unified security control of the IoT. We propose a real-time automatic detection and recognition solution for IoT devices based on traffic fingerprints. This solution contains two main modules, including automatic detection and fingerprint recognition.  First, passive listening is used to collect messages sent by different IoT devices. Based on the differences in the header fields of different devices, a series of multi-classification algorithms are used to identify the device type. Simulation experiments show that the scheme can achieve an average prediction accuracy of 93.75%.
