• abstract = "A mimicry attack is an exploit in which basic behavioural objectives of a minimalist core attack are used to design multiple attacks achieving the same objective from the same application. Research in mimicry attacks is valuable in determining and eliminating detector weaknesses. In this work, we provide a process for evolving all components of a mimicry attack relative to the Stide (anomaly) detector under a Traceroute exploit. To do so, feedback from the detector is directly incorporated into the fitness function, thus guiding evolution towards potential blind spots in the detector. Results indicate that we are able to evolve mimicry attacks that reduce the detector anomaly rate from ~67percent of the original core exploit, to less than 3percent, effectively making the attack indistinguishable from normal behaviours.",
