Abstract
Described systems and methods allow protecting a host system from malicious injection of code and/or data. A memory introspection engine operates below an operating system (OS), having higher processor privileges than the OS. The memory introspection engine is configured to selectively block the copying of memory between a source process and a destination process, thus preventing the injection of code and/or data, particularly from or into user-mode processes. To prevent inter-process memory copying, some embodiments hook a native OS function carrying out such copy operations. A subsequent call to the hooked function may either carry out or block the requested copy operation, according to a set of decision criteria based on the identity of the source process and/or the identity of the destination process.
