Abstract

A detecting method and architecture thereof for malicious codes is provided, which is applicable to a computer system having at least a host. Each host executes at least a process. The method is implemented with a system call interposition module and an analysis module for malicious codes. The system call module intercepts all system calls of process calls and all related arguments of the system calls. The analysis module for malicious codes analyzes the input data of pre-determined system calls, and executes the suspicious malicious codes. Once the same behaviors between the analysis module and the suspicious malicious codes are found, a system-intrusion warning is immediately triggered. The method is not required to maintain huge signature databases, and can detect unknown attack-skills in a manner of high correct rate and low incorrect ruling.
