Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods of executing scanning software, such an executable software program or script (e.g., PowerShell script), by a computing device of an enterprise, such as a security server, may instruct the computing device to search all or a subset of computing devices in an enterprise network. The scanning software may identify PowerShell scripts containing particular malware attributes, according to a malicious-code dataset. The computing system executing the scanning software may scan through the identified PowerShell scripts to identify particular strings, values, or code-portions, and take a remedial action according to the scanning software programming.
