DETECTING WEB BROWSER BASED ATTACKS USING BROWSER DIGEST COMPUTE TESTS LAUNCHED FROM A REMOTE SOURCE

摘要

The detection of web browser-based attacks using browser tests launched from a remote source is described. In one example, a digest is computed based on the content of an HTTP response message. The message is modified and sent to a client device that also computes a digest. The digests are compared to determine whether content has been modified by malware on the HTTP client. The results of the test are analyzed and defensive measures are taken.
