Abstract
Exemplary systems and methods for malware attack detection and identification are provided. A malware detection and identification system can comprise a controller. The controller can comprise an analysis environment configured to transmit network data to a virtual machine, flag input values associated with the network data from untrusted sources, monitor the flagged input values within the virtual machine, identify an outcome of one or more instructions that manipulate the flagged input values, and determine if the outcome of the one or more instructions comprise an unauthorized activity.
