Abstract: A three-component computer security system focused around crowdsourcing. Users may install the software, at which point it may access the users' computers or hosts, identify certain behaviors as suspicious, and ask for confirmation from the user. The user may then manually edit the report to remove or add behaviors. The system may then prepare a report to deliver to a central system, which may perform malware detection, expert evaluation, and deep learning on the received reports. When the host program's assessment and the user's assessment conflict, the program may be flagged for expert analysis. This use of crowdsourced information may then be used to develop detection, mitigation, and prediction protocols, which may be based on machine learning, and may further be used to manage hackbacks if authorized and desired.
