Identifying shellcode in a sequence of instructions by identifying a first instruction, the first instruction identifying a first bound of a sequence of instructions, identifying a second instruction, the second instruction identifying a second bound of the sequence of instructions, and generating a distribution for the sequence of instructions, bounded by the first instruction and the second instructions, the distribution indicative of whether the sequence of instructions is likely to include shellcode.
