  • Malware Deterrence Using Computer Environment Indicators
    Publication number: 20240202317
    Abstract: A system for inoculating a computer network against malware is described. Specifically, environmental indicators used by anti-analysis and target filtering mechanisms of a malware program may be determined based on analysis within a virtual or physical sandbox environment. The environmental indicators may be sent to computing devices associated with the computing network. The malware program, based on the environmental indicators, may be spoofed to assume that a computing device is associated with an anti-malware system, and/or is a device that is not to be infected. Based on this assumption, the malware program may not execute within the computing device.
