Which is scarier: The fact that malware can get cozy in your hardware, or the fact that it was completely undetectable until now?
As anti-virus solutions become more robust and Microsoft becomes better at plugging Windows vulnerabilities, malware designers have to get more creative about attacking PCs and servers. One wide-open avenue of attack: hardware components like graphics and network cards. Yes, you read that right.
Security software isn't necessarily looking for malware lurking within peripherals, opening the door for Bad Guys to stash nasty code in your killer, pixel-pumping Radeon or GeForce graphics card. But fear not! Berlin-based researcher Patrick Stewin says he has figured out a way to detect this tricky malware without taxing the CPU, according to SC Magazine Australia.
Peripheral-based malware is particularly difficult to detect, because it doesn't have to rely on a weakness in your computer's operating system, according to Stewin. Instead, it takes advantage of the processing power already present in peripherals like graphics cards that may not be expecting an attack.
Graphics cards, sound cards, and other PC components can process data using direct memory access (DMA). Instead waiting to receive data processing via a PC's CPU, a graphics card can bypass the CPU to access and process graphical data directly from memory.
DMA helps make a PC work faster and reduces the load on the CPU. But it also means that a properly designed bit of malware can get in through a data-crunching peripheral. Once infected, DMA attacks can do all sorts of damage, such as copying encryption keys or installing other types of malware for identity theft, though the odds of being infected by this advanced type of malware are admittedly slim.
Comparing notes
Stewin's solutiondubbed BARMdeals with DMA attacks by keeping tabs on what a system is supposed to be doing and comparing that to what the PC actually is doing.
