Abstract
A method is provided for mitigating a malware attack to a data processing system. The method may include initializing a malware stagnation file in the data processing system. The malware stagnation file can generate a range of addresses that do not exist in the memory and are not mapped to any applications of the data processing system. During operation of the data processing system, an address may be received by the data processing system for a read or write operation to the memory. If it is determined that the address defines an entry point of the malware stagnation file, it may be assumed that the requestor is malware and the malware stagnation file translates the address to an address that does not exist in the memory and allow access. The malware stagnation file may provide the non-existent addresses to the malware for as long as the malware makes requests.
