Abstract
A method for determining a zero-day attack by an electronic device is described. According to one embodiment, the method comprises instantiating, by the electronic device, at least one virtual machine, the at least one virtual machine being based on a fortified software profile. The method further comprises executing content capable of behaving as an exploit on the at least one virtual machine, and determining that the exploit is associated with zero-day exploit when the exploit, upon execution of the content on the at least one virtual machine, performs an undesired behavior.
