To do so, use the new "task_fatal_signal" LSM hook added in a previous step. The application crash period must be a value that is not prone to change due to spurious data and follows the real crash period. So, to compute it, the exponential moving average (EMA) is used. There are two types of brute force attacks that need to be detected. The first one is an attack that happens through the fork system call and the second one is an attack that happens through the execve system call. The first type uses the statistics shared by all the fork hierarchy processes, but the second type cannot use this statistical data due to these statistics disappear when the involved tasks finished. In this last scenario the attack info should be tracked by the statistics of a higher fork hierarchy (the hierarchy that contains the process that forks before the execve system call). Moreover, these two attack types have two variants. A slow brute force attack that is detected if the maximum number of faults per fork hierarchy is reached and a fast brute force attack that is detected if the application crash period falls below a certain threshold. Also, this patch adds locking to protect the statistics pointer hold by every process.
