Abstract
Identifying malicious executables by analyzing proxy logs includes, at a server having connectivity to the Internet, retrieving sets of proxy logs from a plurality of proxy servers. Each proxy server of the plurality of proxy servers is associated with a network and generates network traffic logs for one or more nodes included in the network. Then, a set of executables hosted by each of the one or more nodes associated with each of the plurality of proxy servers is determined. Each set of executables is analyzed to detect a specific executable and portions of each of the network traffic logs that are associated with the specific executable are identified. An alert is generated indicating the portions of each of the network traffic logs as likely to be associated with the specific executable.
