Abstract
Provided herein are systems and methods for behavior profiling of targets to determine malware presence. The method includes, in various embodiments, applying a domain specific language to a target; observing a set of temporal sequences and events of the target; determining the presence of markers within the set of temporal sequences and events indicative of malware; and identifying the target as being associated with malware based on the markers. In some embodiments, a malware detection system is provided for creating a behavioral sandbox environment where a target is inspected for malware. The behavioral sandbox environment can include forensic collectors. Each of the collectors may be configured to apply a domain specific language to a target; observe a set of temporal sequences and events of the target; determine the presence of markers within the set of temporal sequences and events indicative of malware; and detect malware presence based on the markers.
