Abstract
A malware profile is received. The malware profile comprises a set of n-tuples of attributes that describe one or more activities associated with executing a copy of a known malicious application that is associated with the malware profile. A set of one or more log entries is analyzed for a set of entries that matches the malware profile. Based at least in part on identifying the set of entries matching the malware profile, a determination is made that a host was compromised. In response to determining that the host has been compromised, a remedial action is taken with respect to the host.
