Abstract
A method and system for detecting and stopping malware propagation using false resource entries is provided. A detection system uses trap door entries that are intentionally inserted into resource location stores to detect resource misuse. A 'trap door' is a false resource that can be monitored by the detection system. The detection system monitors trapdoor entries that have been intentionally inserted into resource location stores, and looks for signs of use. The detection system can then determine whether a detected use of a trap door entry is a misuse of the trap door entry, and upon declaring a misuse of the trap door entry, the detection system can appropriately respond to the misuse.
