Abstract
Analysis of samples for maliciousness is disclosed. A sample is executed and one or more network activities associated with executing the sample are recorded. The recorded network activities are compared to a malware profile. The malware profile comprises a set of network activities taken by a known malicious application during execution of the known malicious application. A verdict of 'malicious' is assigned to the sample based at least in part on a determination that the recorded network activities match the malware profile.
