Abstract
A system and method for improving code coverage for web code that is analyzed for security purposes by dynamic code execution are described. A controller receives information, routes the information to the appropriate engine, analyzer or module and provides the functionality for improving code coverage for code analyzed for security purposes. A code rewrite engine rewrites code in such a way that all branches and stray functions will be executed. A dynamic analyzer performs dynamic analysis on web content to detect malicious code. Additionally, a static analyzer performs static analysis on web content. The static analyzer scans web content and detects a style of coding, a style of obfuscation of the code or patterns in the code.
