Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for detecting if a source of initial content is serving exploits to a target device exposed to initial content. The method includes selecting at least two target devices and dividing the selected target devices into at least two groups, and causing the at least two groups to appear towards the initial content as having different software profiles towards the initial content. Information is obtained regarding at least one of connections and content transmitted/received by the at least two groups as a result of exposure to the initial content. The obtained information between the at least two groups is compared. If the comparison indicates that target devices in one of the at least two groups transmit/receive at least one of additional connections and additional content due to being exposed to the initial content, deciding that a source of the initial content serves exploits.
