Abstract
According to one embodiment, a computerized method comprises three operations. First, an incoming object is analyzed to determine if the incoming object is suspicious by having characteristics that suggest the object is an exploit. Next, a virtual machine is dynamically configured with a software image representing a current operating state of a targeted client device. The software image represents content and structure of a storage volume for the targeted client device at a time of configuring the virtual machine. Lastly, the object is processed by the virtual machine in order to detect any anomalous behaviors that may cause the object to be classified as an exploit.
