Abstract
This document describes techniques for detection of code-based malware. According to some embodiments, the techniques utilize a collection of known malicious code and know benign code and determine which features of each type of code can be used to determine whether unclassified code is malicious or benign. The features can then be used to train a classifier (e.g., a Bayesian classifier) to characterize unclassified code as malicious or benign. In at least some embodiments, the techniques can be used as part of and/or in cooperation with a web browser to inspect web content (e.g., a web page) to determine if the content includes code-based malware.
