A method for creating a set of genericized signatures for detection of byte sequences in computer code includes accessing a first set of sample signatures, determining a maximum number of wildcards that a wildcarded signature may comprise, determining a first wildcarded signature corresponding to the first set of sample signatures, evaluating the first wildcarded signature, and repeating the steps of evaluating for any second wildcarded signatures. Each of the signatures corresponds to an instance of malware. The evaluation further includes if the number of wildcards in the first wildcarded signature exceeds the maximum number of wildcards, determining a plurality of second wildcarded signatures corresponding to a plurality of subsets of the set of sample signatures. The evaluation further includes if the number of wildcards in the first wildcarded signature is less than or equal to the maximum number of wildcards, adding the first wildcarded signature to a set of genericized signatures.
