Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are systems and methods for behavior profiling of targets to determine malware presence. The method includes, in various embodiments, applying a domain specific language to a target, observing a set of temporal sequences and events of the target; determining presence of markers within the set of temporal sequences and events indicative of malware, and identifying the target as being associated with malware based on the markers. In some embodiments, a malware detection system is provided for creating a behavioral sandbox environment where a target is inspected for malware. The behavioral sandbox environment can include forensic collectors. Each of the collectors may be configured to apply a domain specific language to a target; observe a set of temporal sequences and events of the target; determine presence of markers within the set of temporal sequences and events indicative of malware; and detect malware presence based on the markers.
