Abstract
Techniques and systems described herein relate to monitoring executions of computer instructions on computing devices based on learning and generating a control flow directed graph. The techniques and systems include determining telemetry representing execution of a process on a computing system and accessing a learned control flow diagram graph for the process. A transfer of an instruction pointer is determined based on the telemetry and a validity of the transfer is determined based on the learned control flow directed graph. If invalid, then an action to terminate the process is determined, otherwise the action may be allowed to execute when valid.
