Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for analyzing a program to be executed on a computer to detect vulnerability for malicious attacks using the program. One method includes an operation for performing dynamic vulnerability detection of a driver when the driver is loaded in a computing system. The dynamic vulnerability detection comprises detecting at least one offset made available by the driver for access to the driver, and detecting application programming interface (API) calls made by the driver. Further, the method includes performing static vulnerability detection of the driver by analyzing binary code of the driver. The static vulnerability detection comprises determining the at least one offset available for access to the driver, and identifying vulnerable code paths to functions accessing kernel functionality.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a malware detection software being loaded into non-transitory computer readable medium for execution by a processor. The malware detection software comprises exploit detection logic, rule-matching logic, reporting logic and user interface logic. The exploit detection logic is configured to execute certain event logic with respect to a loaded module. The rule-matching logic includes detection logic that is configured to determine whether an access source is attempting to access a protected region and determine whether the access source is from a dynamically allocated memory. The reporting logic includes alert generating logic that is configured to generate an alert while the user interface logic is configured to notify a user or a network administrator of a potential cybersecurity attack.
