Abstract
By injecting bytecode into a predetermined method of a sandbox environment, an application that uses an exploit to attempt to escape from the sandbox environment may be detected without knowledge of the application or the exploit used to attempt to escape from the sandbox environment. Upon indicating that the application has escaped the sandbox, the application may be terminated or the escape may be reported, allowing further monitoring of the application.
