  • System, method and program product for detecting computer attacks
    Patent number: 8201245
    Abstract: Detecting obfuscated attacks on a computer. A first program function is invoked to render static components of a web page and identify program code within the web page or associated file. In response, before executing the identified program code, a malicious-code detector is invoked to scan the identified program code for malicious code. If the malicious-code detector identifies malicious code in the identified program code, the identified program code is not executed. If no malicious code is detected, a second program function generates revised program code from execution of the identified, program code. In response, before executing the revised program code, the malicious-code detector is invoked to scan the revised program code for malicious code. If the malicious-code detector identifies malicious code in the revised program code, the revised program code is not executed.
