Summary
Malware threats have become increasingly sophisticated, often using techniques that often enable evasion, and are quite often persistent. The growing use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and the encrypted VPN traffic allow attackers to potentially bypass current network defense techniques. The project’s novelties include the creation of new approaches to detect and mitigate protocol misconfiguration which could be exploited as an attack surface and to prevent threat actors from exploiting VPN weaknesses through malicious scripts, authentication bypass, covert access, and related techniques.
