Methods for accelerated code injection detection using operating system controlled memory attributes are performed by systems and apparatuses. The methods optimize search operations for memory segments in system and virtual memories by searching for segment attributes. A set of memory segments is determined wherein each memory segment in the set includes specific attributes. The memory segments in the set are ranked for a threat level based on segment attribute. The threat level is used to determine subsequent actions including providing indications of the memory segments in the set and initiating execution of an anti-malware application. Relevant segment attributes used for the segment search can be dynamically updated in an attribute list. Segment attributes of a segment can be determined by accessing a memory manager of an operating system via an API.

Accelerated code injection detection using operating system controlled memory attributes

A system by which a software product may be tested on multiple client computers on various platforms. Product developers submit requests for tests on their products, in the form of test packets, to a test component, via an API. For each platform and language (i.e., group) on which a product developer wants a product tested, the product developer provides a test packet that defines tests that the product developer wants conducted on the product in that group. The test component searches, via an autolab component, for an available client machine for performing the tests in the test packet. The autolab component finds an available client computer, and the client machine is assigned the test packet. The client machine performs the tasks in the test packet, and forwards the results back to the test component.
