Abstract
A method for detecting malicious network content comprises inspecting one or more packets of network content, identifying a suspicious characteristic of the network content, determining a score related to a probability that the network content includes malicious network content based on at least the suspicious characteristic, identifying the network content as suspicious if the score satisfies a threshold value, executing a virtual machine to process the suspicious network content, and analyzing a response of the virtual machine to detect malicious network content.
