Abstract
Various techniques for malicious pattern extraction via fuzzing are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system/process/computer program product for malicious pattern extraction via fuzzing includes receiving a malicious sample (e.g., the malicious sample can be an executable file, such as a binary, script, etc., or a file that includes content for inputting into an application, such as for an office productivity suite or another application); mutating the malicious sample using fuzzing; and generating a signature based on a critical path (e.g., a malware signature can be automatically generated by a cloud security service for detection of the malicious sample, and the cloud security service can distribute the malware signature to a plurality of firewalls and/or other security entities to subscribers of a security service).
