Abstract

Disclosed is a method of checking the authenticity of an executable process including at least one section. The method includes, when an initial thread of the executable process is created in a suspended state, mapping from storage a copy of the executable process into a spare memory area, where it will not be executed. The method also includes comparing a header of a first section of the executable process with a header of a first section of the copy. The method further includes terminating the executable process when the header of the first section of the executable process and the header of the first section of the copy are not identical.
