| 20120151587 | Devices, Systems, and Methods for Detecting Proximity-Based Mobile Malware Propagation - Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which leverage an agent that resides in a mobile communication device to detect Proximity based Mobile Malware Propagation (PMMP). The agent injects one or several trigger network connections in the candidate connection list. These connections appear as legitimate networks and devices. However, the triggers connect to an agent server on a service provider's network. Essentially, the method is based on the assumption that malware lacks the intelligence to differentiate the trigger network connection from a normal one. Therefore, by attempting to connect through the trigger network connection, the malware reveals itself. The system helps collect the malware signature within a short period of time after the malware outbreak in local areas, and such attacks typically bypass network based security inspection in the network. | 06-14-2012 |
