Abstract

A method of detecting exploit kits includes receiving, at an input port of a computer, indication of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) traffic. The HTTP traffic is clustered into a web session tree according to a client IP (Internet Protocol. A client tree structure of the web session tree is generated. The client tree structure is compared with tree structures of exploit kit samples.
