Title: Improved malware detection
Inventor: MIKKO SUOMINEN
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2015-10-30
Abstract: Malware analysis is performed at a computer device having an operating system and a memory by collecting Dynamic Link Library (DLL) data under a system folder. This data comprises at least the DLL name and all pairs of exported function names and function addresses relative to the starting address of the DLL once it has been loaded into memory. The two least significant bytes of the collected function addresses with the two least significant bytes of absolute virtual addresses in a memory dump are compared. A list of potential targets for API function calls are then deduced when there is a match between the compared two least significant bytes of the collected function addresses and the absolute virtual addresses. Probabilities generated by analysing malicious executables may be assigned to different DLLs.
