Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for detecting access of boot driver routines by malware. An example method includes identifying, by the driver interceptor, the one or more boot drivers that have been loaded into memory but not yet initialized; installing, by the driver interceptor, an interceptor handler operable to intercept calls of initialization routines of the one or more identified boot drivers; intercepting, by the driver interceptor, program calls to the initialization routines of the one or more identified boot drivers; storing, by intercept handler, information about the boot driver that is provided by the driver in the course of its initialization, wherein information contains at least address of the entry point for one or more routines of the boot driver; and providing access, by driver interceptor, to the routines of the boot driver by previously stored addresses of the entry points.
