Abstract
Systems and methods for embedding into a storage stack of a UNIX based computing device. A method includes building a file storage map for a file stored in computing device data storage, intercepting a system call associated with the file, intercepting a storage stack operation, and analyzing the system call and the storage stack operation using the file storage map to determine a change to a data block of the file. The method further includes building a shadow copy of the file on backup storage. The method further includes detecting a malicious operation based on the change to the data block.
