See full text

A computer-implemented method to scan memory for a threat is described. At least one application programming interface (API) is monitored. A back-trace operation is performed from the at least one API to identify a process that called the at least one API. An address in memory is retrieved for the identified process. At least a portion of the memory associated with the address of the identified process is scanned. A signature based on the scanned portion of the memory is generated.
