A computer implemented method for protecting data stored in at least one file from being overwritten by malicious code, comprises: monitoring at least one file stored in a storage device location to detect a request to perform an overwrite operation at least a portion of data of the at least one file; redirecting the overwrite operation to a memory location designated as safe for being overwritten; analyzing the overwrite operation at the memory location to identify an association with malicious code; and outputting an indication of an attempt to overwrite the at least one file by malicious code.

System and methods for detection of cryptoware

There is provided a computer implemented method for detection and prevention of an attempt at establishment of a network connection for malicious communication, comprising: detecting a connection establishment process for establishing a network connection, the connection establishment process initiated by code running on a client terminal; analyzing records in at least one stack trace of the initiating code managed at the client terminal, to detect a trial to establish a malicious communication wherein the network connection is used for malicious activity; and blocking establishment of the network connection when the analysis detects the trial to establish the malicious communication based on the network connection.

Systems and methods for malicious code detection

There is provided a method for authenticating an attempt at establishment of a network connection by allowed code, comprising: providing a dataset having previously observed stack trace templates each representing a stack trace pattern prevailing in stack traces recorded by monitoring stacks of clients executing an allowed code during a connection establishment process for establishing network connections related to the allowed code; receiving a new stack trace recorded during a new connection establishment process for a new network connection by a new client; measuring a similarity between the new stack trace and the plurality of stack trace templates to identify a match to a stack trace template; evaluating the matched stack trace template for a predefined rule requirement; and updating a rule-set database with the matched stack trace template to authenticate new network connection establishments associated with stack templates matching the matched stack trace template.
