Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting an obfuscated executable may include identifying an executable file programmed to execute on a target architecture. The method may also include disassembling a first section of the executable file and determining whether the first section of the executable file comprises a valid instruction. The method may further include determining, based on whether the first section of the executable file comprises a valid instruction, whether the executable file poses a security risk. Various other methods, computer-readable media, and systems are also disclosed.
