Abstract
According to one embodiment, a system comprising a dynamic analysis server comprising one or more virtual machines is disclosed, wherein the one or more virtual machines may be configured to execute certain event logic with respect to a loaded module. The virtual machines may be communicatively coupled to a virtual machine manager and a database; and rule-matching logic comprising detection logic, wherein the detection logic is configured to determine (1) whether an access source is attempting to access a protected region such as a page guarded area; and (2) determine whether the access source is from the heap. The system further comprises reporting logic that is configured to generate an alert so as to notify a user and/or network administrator of a probable application-execution hijacking attack.
