  • Publication number: 20240020384
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for detecting a malicious script in a web page. Instrumentation code is provided for serving to a client computing device with a web page. The instrumentation code is configured to monitor web code execution at the client computing device when a script referenced by the web page is processed. Script activity data generated by the instrumentation code is received. The script activity data describes one or more script actions detected by the instrumentation code at the client computing device. Prior script activity data generated by a prior instance of the instrumentation code is obtained. A malicious change in the script is detected based on comparing the script activity data and the prior script activity data. In response to detecting the malicious change in the script, a threat response action is performed.

  • Patent number: 11647036
    Abstract: A method non-transitory computer readable medium, device and system that receives one of one or more requests from a client to a web server system. An interstitial page is served to the client and comprises instrumentation code that, when executed at the client, collects telemetry data. The telemetry data is received and a threat analysis is performed on the telemetry data collected in association with the one of the requests. A determination is made on when, based on the performing the threat analysis, that the one of the requests is from a potential attacker. When the determination indicates the one of the requests is not from the potential attacker then the one of the requests is allowed.

  • Patent number: 11349816
    Abstract: Programs written in interpreted languages, such as JavaScript, are distributed in source form, which is helpful to attackers so that they can more easily derive the purposes and effects of a program. As discussed herein, a program's high-level code may be effectively obfuscated by transforming the program's code from its high-level programming language to low-level processor-specific language, such as x86 instructions for x86 processors, JVM bytecode for JVMs, or proprietary opcodes for a corresponding proprietary processor or interpreter. Additional obfuscation techniques can be applied the program's low-level processor-specific code.
