The dynamic analysis engine is configured to automatically detect a function call by an application, responsive to detecting the function call, analyze contents located at one or more addresses located within a portion of memory allocated for the application, and, based on the analysis, determine whether one or more objects included in received network traffic is associated with a return-oriented programming (ROP) exploit.
