Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting and protecting against malicious use of legitimate computing-system tools may include (i) identifying a computing-system tool that can perform benign actions and malicious actions on a computing system, (ii) creating a set of recorded actions by recording actions performed by the computing-system tool on the computing system over a predetermined period of time, (iii) analyzing the set of recorded actions via a machine learning method that, for each action in the set of recorded actions, determines whether the action is anomalous compared to other actions in the set, (iv) classifying an action in the set of recorded actions as malicious based at least in part on determining that the action is anomalous, and (v) initiating, in response to classifying the action as malicious, a security action related to the action. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
