  • Systems and methods for generating an inventory of software applications for optimized analysis
    Patent number: 11481493
    Abstract: A device may receive data identifying applications, wherein each application includes files and each file includes functions and lines of code. The device may generate file hashes for the files, line hashes for the lines of code, and function hashes for the functions. The device may store, in a data structure, data identifying one or more of the applications, the files, the lines of code, the functions, the file hashes, the line hashes, and the function hashes. When scanning a new application, the device may generate a hash associated with one of the files of the new application, and may determine that the hash associated with the file of the new application matches one of the file hashes. The device may refrain from performing a scan of the file of the new application based on determining that the hash of the file matches one of the file hashes.
