- Abstract
- Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) is a kind of intelligent attacking method having a goal of acquiring classified information or control of critical infrastructure, by penetrating networks of targets in a stealthy way and staying there in the long term. Since, this attacking process is working continuously and uses diverse malicious codes and attacking routes, it is considered to be difficult to detect in advance. In this paper, we categorized attacking methods used for APT into 4 phases and defined potential behaviors of attackers or victims. Each attacking method can include a couple of behaviors. This classification can be helpful for attacking-type decision, damage reduction, damage estimation, or cause analysis of hacking accidents.
