Abstract
Techniques for blacklisting of fault generating software code are provided. An example method includes receiving crash reports of a plurality of browsers, a crash report including an identification of one or more executables related to a software crash of a browser, wherein software code of the executables is included in a memory space of the browser during the software crash, analyzing the crash reports of the browsers to determine a browser component affected by software code of an executable included in respective memory spaces of the browsers to cause one or more software crashes of the browsers, computing, for the executable, a fault level based on a number of crashes of the browser component that is associated with the executable and a number of crashes of the browser component independent of the executable, and including an identifier representing the executable in a list based on the determined fault level.
