Abstract
In an embodiment, a threat detection and prevention system comprises a network-traffic static analysis logic and a classification engine. The network-traffic static analysis logic is configured to conduct an analysis of a multi-flow object by analyzing characteristics of the multi-flow object and determining if the characteristics of the multi-flow object is associated with a malicious attack such as being indicative of an exploit for example. The classification engine is configured to receive results of the analysis of the multi-flow object and, based on the results of the analysis of the multi-flow object, determine whether the multi-flow object is associated with a malicious attack.
