Abstract:
A method and system are provided for improving threat detection in a computer system by performing an inter-application dependency analysis on events of the computer system. The method includes receiving, by a processor operatively coupled to a memory, a Tracking Description Language (TDL) query including general constraints, a tracking declaration and an output specification, parsing, by the processor, the TDL query using a language parser, executing, by the processor, a tracking analysis based on the parsed TDL query, generating, by the processor, a tracking graph by cleaning a result of the tracking analysis, and outputting, by the processor and via an interface, query results based on the tracking graph.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for identifying similarities in program binaries, including extracting program binary features from one or more input program binaries to generate corresponding hybrid features. The hybrid features include a reference feature, a resource feature, an abstract control flow feature, and a structural feature. Combinations of a plurality of pairs of binaries are generated from the extracted hybrid features, and a similarity score is determined for each of the pairs of binaries. A hybrid difference score is generated based on the similarity score for each of the binaries combined with input hybrid feature parameters. A likelihood of malware in the input program is identified based on the hybrid difference score.
