Abstract
Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for the detection of software presence remotely through the web browser by detecting the presence of webinjects in a web browser that visits a detection webpage. The methods can include delivering a detection webpage to a web browser, in which the detection webpage has detection code configured to detect a presence of the webinject in the detection webpage; and inspecting, by the detection code, rendering of content of the detection webpage in the browser to detect webinject content in the detection webpage by the webinject, the webinject content including one or more Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) components. The method can further include, if webinject content is detected, generating a fingerprint for each of the one or more HTML components; transmitting the one or more fingerprints to an external server; and classifying, by the external server, the webinject based on the one or more fingerprints.
