Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for locating functions for later interception may include (i) identifying a function to be intercepted during an execution of a file that comprises an instance of the function, (ii) procuring, from a description of the function, a string that, when located in any given file within a set of files, indicates a location of the function within the given file, (iii) scanning the file to identify a location of the string within the file, (iv) determining, based on the location of the string within the file, a location of the instance of the function within the file, and (v) intercepting a call made by a process during the execution of the file to the instance of the function based on having located the instance of the function within the file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
