Abstract
A sample program being evaluated for malware is scanned for presence of a critical code block. A path guide is generated for the sample program, with the path guide containing information on executing the sample program so that an execution path that leads to the critical code block is taken at runtime of the sample program. The path guide is applied to the sample program during dynamic analysis of the sample program so that behavior of the sample program during execution to the critical code block can be observed. This advantageously allows for detection of malicious samples, allowing for a response action to be taken against them.
