Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to computer security and malware protection. In particular, the present disclosure is generally directed towards systems and methods for detecting and mitigating a code injection attack. In one embodiment the systems and methods may detect a code injection attack by scanning identified sections of memory for non-operational machine instructions ('no-ops'), detecting a code injection attack based on the scan(s) and mitigating the code injection attack by taking one or more defensive actions.
