Patent attributes
Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may be performed by a Cloud computing device may use instrumentation code that remains transparent to an application program that the instrumentation code has been injected into, may perform deep packet inspection (DPI) on computer data, or identify a content rating associated with computer data. In certain instances, data sets that include executable code may be received via packetized communications or be received via other means, such as, receiving a file from a data store. The present technique allows one or more processors executing instrumentation code to monitor actions performed by the program code included in a received data set. Malware can be detected using exception handling to track memory allocations of the program code included in the received data set. Furthermore, access to content associated with malware, potential malware, or with inappropriate content ratings may be blocked.
