SpyProxy: Execution-Based Detection of Malicious Web Content

Overview This paper explores the use of execution-based Web content analysis to protect users from Internet-borne malware. Many anti-malware tools use signatures to identify malware infections on a user's PC. In contrast, the authors approach is to render and observe active Web content in a disposable virtual machine before it reaches the user's browser, identifying and blocking pages whose behavior is suspicious. Execution-based analysis can defend against undiscovered threats and zero-day attacks. However, the authors approach faces challenges, such as achieving good interactive performance, and limitations, such as defending against malicious Web content that contains non-determinism.
