Description
Summary:In order to deal with exploit attacks such as APT,an approach was proposed to detect exploits based on illegal control flow transfers identification.Both static and dynamic analysis methods were performed to construct the CFSO (control flow safety outline),which was used to restrict the targets of control flow transfers occurred during the target program's running.When a call/ret/jmp was about to execute,the target was checked according to the CFSO.The illegal control flow transfer is considered as an exploit attack and all the following attacking steps could be captured.The ex-periment also showed that proposed method had decent overhead and could be applied to detect exploits online.
