Abstract
Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks are detected in Windows-based desktop computers. An opening of a device handle to a device object by a process is detected in the desktop computer. An object path that is used in the opening of the device handle is obtained and parsed to identify a device name of the device object. The device name is compared to device names associated with drivers that have known vulnerabilities. The process that opened the device handle is detected as indicative of a BYOVD attack if the device name is associated with a driver that has a known vulnerability and the process is not a normal process.
