Abstract
A method of detecting aberrant behavior in a software application is described. The method includes instantiating replicated applications on computing devices using identical initial setting. Each replicated application is a replicated instance of the software application. Information associated with a first API call from the first replicated application, and information associated with a second API call from the second replicated application is received. The information includes a call identifier of the API call and a digest. The call identifier is unique during the lifetime of the replicated application issuing it and is identical across the replicated applications. If the first and second call identifiers are identical, the method determines whether the first and second digests match. The method also includes, in response to the first and second digests not matching, signaling that aberrant behavior has occurred. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.
