  • Detecting script-based malware using emulation and heuristics
    Patent number: 10387647
    Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards running script through a malware detection system including an emulator environment to detect any malware within the script. Statistics are collected as part of processing the script, with parameterized heuristic analysis used to determine whether to run the emulation. The processing through the malware detection system may be iterative, to de-obfuscate layers of obfuscated malware. The emulator may be updated via signatures.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2019
    Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC
    Inventors: Jonathon Patrick Green, Anjali Doulatram Chandnani, Simon David Christensen
