  • Patent number: 11736446
    Abstract: Content obtained from a remote server by a clientless VPN is received in response to a request made by a client browser executing on a client device. The content includes a script and is received at the client device. A determination is made by the client device that the obtained content includes a script that invokes a native accessor function call. Functionality provided by the script is preserved, at least in part, by the client device executing a modified accessor function call.

  • Publication number: 20230244787
    Abstract: Detection of an exploit including shellcode is disclosed. Memory blocks are monitored during dynamic analysis of a sample to identify a memory block including suspicious shellcode. The memory block is dumped in memory to identify a candidate shellcode entry point associated with the suspicious shellcode. The suspicious shellcode is executed based on the candidate shellcode entry point to determine whether the suspicious shellcode is malicious. A verdict is generated regarding the sample based on results of executing the suspicious shellcode.
