Abstract
A code finder system deployed as a software module, a web service or as part of a larger security system, identifies and processes well-formed code sequences. For a data flow that is expected to be free of executable or interpreted code, or free of one or more known styles of executable or interpreted code, the code finder system can protect participants in the communications network. Examples of payload carried by data flows that can be monitored include, but are not limited to, user input data provided as part of interacting with a web application, data files or entities, such as images or videos, and user input data provided as part of interacting with a desktop application.
