Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for identifying malicious activity on a target device based on behavior analysis of the target device. The system includes a behavioral analyzer run on a virtual machine connected to the target device. The virtual machine collects system events and parameters from the target device and run a script, independent of the target device, to detect a threat. The script is a set of instructions executed to analyze behavior of an object by processing and correlating the events. The script includes a rule structure which stores signatures and expressions of the known malwares. By correlating the selected event parameters with known malware parameters, it is determined whether the event imposes a threat or not. A finite state machine is used for the state transition table.
