Abstract: A device may receive a malicious file associated with a network of network devices and may identify a file type and file characteristics associated with the malicious file. The device may determine one or more rules to apply to the malicious file based on the file type and the file characteristics associated with the malicious file and may apply the one or more rules to the malicious file to generate a partial file signature for the malicious file. The device may provide the partial file signature for the malicious file to one or more of the network devices of the network. The partial file signature may cause the one or more of the network devices to block the malicious file.

Abstract: A network device may be configured to receive a file stream associated with an file. The network device may be configured to identify, based on receiving the file stream, an initial portion of the file. The network device may be configured to process the initial portion of the file to determine one or more features of the file. The network device may be configured to generate, based on the one or more features of the file, a determination as to whether the file is malicious. The network device may be configured to block or allow, based on the determination, the file stream.

Abstract: A device receives a software program with potential malware and a loop to conceal the potential malware, and processes the software program, with a loop identification technique, to identify the loop in the software program. The device modifies, with a loop exit technique and based on data from the loop identification technique, the software program to exit the loop, and processes the software program, with a malware detection technique and after modifying the software program to exit the loop, to determine whether the software program contains malware. The device causes one or more actions to be performed based on a result of processing the software program with the malware detection technique.
