Browser extensions enhance the browser to help meet the varied needs of a broad user population through adding personalized features to browser. However, extensions can also expose user to disastrous attacks from the web. This paper took Firefox as an example to thoroughly study its extension mechanism and security problem, designed and implemented a monitoring system, which was depended on a behavior sequence knowledge base and used to find ongoing attacks. To show the practicality of our system, we described the characteristic behavior sequences of five typical kinds of attacks. Experiments showed that our system successfully find 11 from 18 times tentative attacks.
Keywords:Browser extension; Behavior sequence; Monitoring system
