Abstract: A software, system and methodology for protecting against malware Point-of-Sale attacks that utilize, for example, memory scraping techniques. The application protects Point-of-sale hardware and its software against memory scraping malware attacks, and the loss of critical user credit card and confidential information often swiped at a terminal or stored in point of sale application databases. An embodiment of a method for blocking memory scraping attacks includes the following steps. Upon detecting a credit card swipe submission event from local hardware or comport event specific memory table events are flagged as unreadable, and immediately after allowing the data to be properly submitted, the system memory tables are cleared of data and specific memory processes are flagged as readable again. The method prevents memory scraping or point of sale malware from capturing swiped credit card data or input data, thereby protecting the user from theft of credit card data or other credentials.

Abstract: A software, system and methodology for protecting against malware key logger attacks that utilize, for example, form-grabbing techniques. The application protects the browser from key logging malware attacks, and the loss of critical user confidential information often entered into internet forms for the purpose of buying items or logging into financial institutions. An embodiment of a method for blocking form-grabbing attacks including the following steps. Upon detecting a form submission event from the browser, and immediately after allowing the data to be properly submitted, the form input fields are cleared of data. The method prevents hook-based key loggers or form-grabbing key loggers from capturing form input data, thereby protecting the user from theft of passwords or credentials.
