An example method includes receiving a request from a software application to access a resource in a computer file system using a requested path; identifying a first element in the requested path; comparing the first element with nodes in a first level of the tree data structure to identify an exact match; if the first element does not have an exact match, comparing the first element with at least one mask node in the first level of the tree data structure to identify a match by mask; and if the first element does not match one of mask nodes in the first level of the tree data structure, determining that the requested path is not in the tree data structure. | 2016-10-06 |
20160292417 | Generic Unpacking of Program Binaries - By hooking application programming interfaces in an execution environment, the return address for hooked application programming interface calls can be logged and used to determine when a packed binary has been unpacked. In one approach, memory allocations are detected and the return address is checked against the memory regions allocated. In another approach, the contents of memory at the return address in a pre-execution copy of the executable binary is compared with the contents of memory at the return address in the executing copy of the binary. This allows efficient detection of the completion of unpacking without knowledge of the unpacking technique. The unpacked binary may then be analyzed for possible malware. | 2016-10-06 |
20160292418 | WAVELET DECOMPOSITION OF SOFTWARE ENTROPY TO IDENTIFY MALWARE - A plurality of data files is received. Thereafter, each file is represented as an entropy time series that reflects an amount of entropy across locations in code for such file. A wavelet transform is applied, for each file, to the corresponding entropy time series to generate an energy spectrum characterizing, for the file, an amount of entropic energy at multiple scales of code resolution. It can then be determined, for each file, whether or not the file is likely to be malicious based on the energy spectrum. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described. | 2016-10-06 |
20160292419 | MULTI-FILE MALWARE ANALYSIS - A device may identify a plurality of files for a multi-file malware analysis. The device may execute the plurality of files in a malware testing environment. The device may monitor the malware testing environment for behavior indicative of malware. The device may detect the behavior indicative of malware. The device may perform a first multi-file malware analysis or a second multi-file malware analysis based on detecting the behavior indicative of malware. The first multi-file malware analysis may include a partitioning technique that partitions the plurality of files into two or more segments of files to identify a file, included in the plurality of files, that includes malware. The second multi-file malware analysis may include a scoring technique that modifies a plurality of malware scores, corresponding to the plurality of files, to identify the file, included in the plurality of files, that includes malware. | 2016-10-06 |
20160292420 | CONFIGURING A SANDBOX ENVIRONMENT FOR MALWARE TESTING - A device may receive a file to be analyzed in a sandbox environment, and may determine configuration information for configuring the sandbox environment. The configuration information may be determined based on at least one of: file information associated with the file to be analyzed, or client device information associated with a client device for which the file is intended. The device may configure the sandbox environment using the configuration information. The configuration information may identify a system configuration for the sandbox environment. The device may analyze the file in the sandbox environment based on configuring the sandbox environment using the configuration information. | 2016-10-06 |
20160292421 | DETECTING KEYLOGGING - A device may detect or emulate a sequence of keystrokes to be used to detect a keystroke logger application. The device may determine a sequence of characters associated with the sequence of keystrokes. The sequence of characters may correspond to the sequence of keystrokes or a portion of the sequence of keystrokes. The device may search a memory for the sequence of characters. The device may determine that the sequence of characters is stored in the memory based on searching the memory for the sequence of characters. The device may perform an action to counteract the keystroke logger application based on determining that the sequence of characters is stored in the memory. | 2016-10-06 |
20160292422 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE APPARATUS - An information processing apparatus holding a secure chip includes a determination unit that determines whether the information processing apparatus returns from an idle state; a detection unit that, if the determination unit determines that the information processing apparatus returns from the idle state, detects initialization of the secure chip before starting application software; and a control unit that, if the detection unit detects the initialization of the secure chip, controls an operation of the information processing apparatus so that a hash value of the application software is not registered in the secure chip that is initialized. | 2016-10-06 |
