Abstract

A system and method for distinguishing human input events from malware-generated events includes one or more central processing units (CPUs), one or more input devices and memory. The memory includes program code that when executed by the CPU causes the CPU to obtain a first set of input events from a user utilizing the input device. The first input events are used to obtain or derive a feature indicative of the user, such as a multi-dimensional feature vector as provided by a support vector machine. Second input events are then obtained, and the second input events are classified against the feature to determine if either the user or malware initiated the second input events.
