  • Publication number: 20230179629
    Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for improving phishing webpage content detection. A method can include identifying first webpage content comprises phishing content, determining, using a reinforcement learning (RL) agent, at least one action, generating, based on the determined at least one action and the identified first webpage content, altered first webpage content, identifying that the altered first webpage content is benign, generating, based on the determined at least one action and second webpage content, altered second webpage content, and training, based on the altered second webpage content and a corresponding label of phishing, a phishing detector.

  • Patent number: 10025674
    Abstract: A processing platform is described herein for performing a task on a physical system. For example, the task may entail testing untrusted code on the physical system. The processing platform provides the same isolation guarantees as a virtual machine, but without using a virtual machine. A processing framework is also described herein which includes two or more processing platforms, together with a control system for administering the operations performed by the processing platforms.

  • Patent number: 8402541
    Abstract: Malware detection systems and methods for determining whether a collection of data not expected to include executable code is suspected of containing malicious executable code. In some embodiments, a malware detection system may disassemble a collection of data to obtain a sequence of possible instructions and determine whether the collection of data is suspected of containing malicious executable code based, at least partially, on an analysis of the sequence of possible instructions. In one embodiment, the analysis of the sequence of possible instructions may comprise determining whether the sequence of possible instructions comprises an execution loop. In a further embodiment, a control flow of the sequence of possible instructions may be analyzed. In a further embodiment, the analysis of the sequence of possible instructions may comprise assigning a weight that is indicative of a level of suspiciousness of the sequence of possible instructions.
