Publication number: 20120216281Abstract: A method and apparatus for resisting malicious code in a computing device. A software component corresponding to an operating system kernel is analyzed prior to executing the software component to detect the presence of one or more specific instructions such as malicious code, a change in mode permissions or instructions to modify or turn off security monitoring software, and taking a graduated action in response to the detection of one or more specific instructions. The graduated action taken is specified by a security policy (or policies) stored on the computing device. The analyzing may include off-line scanning of a particular code or portion of code for certain instructions, op codes, or patterns, and includes scanning in real-time as the kernel or kernel module is loading while the code being scanned is not yet executing (i.e., it is not yet “on-line”). Analysis of other code proceeds according to policies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2011Publication date: August 23, 2012Applicant: PCTEL Secure LLCInventors: Eric Ridvan Uner, Benjamin James Leslie, Joshua Scott Matthews, Changhua Chen, Thomas Smigelski, Anthony Kobrinetz
