Abstract
Disclosed system and methods for detecting malicious applications. The system provides a library of handler functions. The handlers functions control access of one or more applications to protected resources on a user device. The system also modifies the one or more applications to access the library of handler functions instead of corresponding application program interface (API) functions of the user device. The handler functions receive API function calls from a modified application. The system analyzes the received API function calls for malicious behavior characteristics. When the API function calls do not exhibit malicious behavior characteristics, the handler functions perform the API function calls to the protected resources. When the API function calls exhibit malicious behavior characteristics, the system prevents access of the modified application to the protected resources.
