Abstract
As described, embodiments presented herein provide techniques for detecting malware on computing devices connected to a local network segment by observing the traffic flows of such devices and generating signatures characterizing such traffic flows. Doing so allows instances of malware to be detected on a variety of devices which can be connected to a computing network, but which lack the capability of directly detecting and preventing malware applications from infecting such devices.
