Automated Web Patrol With Strider HoneyMonkeys: Finding Web Sites That Exploit Browser Vulnerabilities

Overview Internet attacks that use malicious web sites to install malware programs by exploiting browser vulnerabilities are a serious emerging threat. This paper has developed an automated web patrol system to automatically identify and monitor these malicious sites. This paper describes the design and implementation of the Strider HoneyMonkey Exploit Detection System, which consists of a pipeline of "Monkey programs" running possibly vulnerable browsers on virtual machines with different patch levels and patrolling the Web to seek out and classify web sites that exploit browser vulnerabilities.
