Abstract
An anti-exploit system monitors and identifies malicious behavior related to one or more protected applications or processes. The anti-exploit system intercepts API calls associated with the protected application or process including parameters passed on to the operating system functions as well as a memory address associated with the caller to the API calls. Based on the characteristics associated with the intercepted API call a Behavioral Analysis Component determines whether the API call is malicious in nature.
