Abstract:
Embodiments include identifying, at a logical path node, a first logical path and a second logical path; executing, by a processor implemented at least partially in hardware, a first set of instructions to follow the first logical path; storing, in a memory, a first set of information obtained from following the first logical path; evaluating, by a malware handler module implemented at least partially in hardware, the first set of information for malware; restoring, from the memory, environmental data for the first logical path node; executing, by the processor, a second set of instructions to follow the second logical path; storing, in a memory, a second set of information obtained from following the second logical path; and evaluating, by the malware handler module, the second set of information for malware.
