Description: Slide : - http://www.hackinparis.com/slides/hip2k11/10-RogueAV.pdf
We survey the rogue security software field with the analysis of 300+ self-described antivirus/antimalware products. Characteristics, similarities and differences are highlighted through static code and behavioral analysis. The main goal of this presentation is to group rogue security software into families in order to find commonalities which in turn will facilitate the differentiation from legitimate security software. The behind the scenes are examined as well and we demonstrate that it is sometimes necessary to follow the money trail in order to determine whether or not security software can be classified as rogue. Rogue security software is similar to Trojans in the sense that they advertise a function or a service that they fail to deliver on. But do they? Does rogue security software provide any real security feature or are is it just scamming users out of their money? We close out the presentation by showing that rogue security software do provide some benefits.
