DISM Year 3 Gathering

On 7th Dec 2012, year 3 DISM students had a lunch gathering before the internship briefing in the afternoon.

One of the past DISM top graduates Gibson Cheng also came back and shared with juniors extensively on the things to take note in application for various courses and universities, both local and overseas ones.

and how to find out what the "right course" is for oneself

After the buffet lunch cum bonding session, many continued to enjoy themselves with X-Box Games and CTF practices, each catering to the group of unique interest. It was totally the relaxation everyone needed and rightfully deserved after their hard work and effort in the last term.

Amid the pleasant chit-chatting, some took the initiative to capture photos in small groups in the security lab in memory of so many good times they had together along this memorable learning journey in DISM.

Final Year Project Sharing: Automated Syscall Fuzzer Generator on MAC OS X

Project Title: Automated Syscall Fuzzer Generator on MAX OS X

Categories: Fuzzer, Mac OS X XNU Kernel.
Students:  Jeremy Heng (team leader), Ku Wee Kiat, Gerald Tan and Goh Kee Chin.

Synopsis: The purpose of this project is to develop a fuzzer to test for vulnerabilities and reveal bugs in the Mac OS X XNU Kernel.

Aim: Fuzzers built to test for vulnerabilities and reveal bugs in the Mac OS X XNU Kernel are scarce, in both the open and closed source worlds. In addition, existing fuzzers lack the intelligence to adapt to a rapidly changing environment such as a regularly updated operating system kernel. Existing fuzzers do not take into account the semantics of system calls or the order in which these system calls are called. Grapevine is a highly abstractable automated fuzzer designed for the discovery of vulnerabilities and bugs in the Mac OS X’s XNU kernel through the process of ’fuzzing’.

Objectives of the Project:

• To develop a tool that is capable of discovering bugs in the Mac OS X’s XNU kernel through the process of fuzzing
• To automatically and dynamically generate the system calls for execution based on attached semantic rules
• To provide a means by which further investigation may be carried out in the event of a detected failure of the kernel (e.g. kernel panic through corrupted kernel memory). 

The system overview.

 

(From L to R): Jeremy Heng (team leader), Ku Wee Kiat, Gerald Tan and Goh Kee Chin.

 “The Grapevine Project is, I would consider, a great achievement. To design a kernel fuzzer; implement it in one of my favourite languages of all time, Python; and then release it to the open source, completely free and for anyone to use is a huge and memorable thing to do. It's thrilling to be part of the open source community and to contribute to the collective knowledge as part of a final year project. The project was more academic than business, and I particularly enjoyed the technicalities of our subject, the XNU kernel. It is up for free at https://github.com/jergorn93/grapevine, and I definitely hope that it can grow beyond a school project into something bigger in future." said Jeremy, the student leader of the project.

 

Another student, Wee kiat said, "Doing a large project like this FYP has taught me many things. For one, it is faster to learn a programming language while actually working on a project. This project is written entirely in the Python programming language. Starting out, there was only 1 person in our group with Python knowledge. After the project, the whole group is able to program in Python. Another thing I realised after the completion of the project is the need of to plan properly and thoroughly and to have good communication. There might not be a need for a full SDLC for FYP, but it is still important to have a solid base idea of the project/application and along the way, a strong idea of the tiny details or functions of the application. So that there will not be any last minute misconceptions or misintepretations. I feel that the FYP is one of the best projects I've worked on throughout my 3 years in poly."
