  • Patent number: 9003524
    Abstract: A system and computer based method are provided for identifying active content in websites on a network. One embodiment includes a computer based method of classifying web content. The method receives content of a web page, and determines a first property associated with the content, the first property including static content. The method executes active content associated with the webpage, and determines a second property associated with the content based at least in part on the executing, the second property including the active content. The method also evaluates a logical expression relating the first property and the second property, and associates the web page with a category based on a result of the evaluation. The evaluation of the logical expression at least in part evaluates whether a constant value matches at least a portion of the content of the web page.

  • Patent number: 8615800
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for identifying active content in websites on a network. One embodiment includes a method of classifying web content. In one embodiment, the classifications are indicative of active and/or malicious content. The method includes identifying properties associated with the web page based at least partly on the content of the web page and storing said properties in a database of web page properties. The method further includes comparing at least one definition to properties stored in the database of web page properties and identifying the web page with at least one definition based on comparing said definition with said stored properties. The method further includes identifying the web page with at least one category associated with the at least one definition, wherein said category is indicative of active content associated with the web page. Other embodiments include systems configured to perform such methods.
