Abstract

The detection of web browser-based attacks using browser test launched from a remote source is described. In one example, it is determined that a test should be performed responsive to receiving an HTTP message sent by a client device and a policy. The test is performed with the client device to determine only whether content intended to be communicated between the HTTP client and the web application server using an HTTP message has been modified by malware on the HTTP client. The test includes the sending of an HTTP response to the HTTP client. The results of the test are analyzed and defensive measures are taken.
