CaffeineMonkey: Automated Collection, Detection and Analysis of Malicious JavaScript

Ben Feinstein and Daniel Peck

Detecting malicious JavaScript by executing it rather than matching bytes. Heritrix crawls candidate pages into a central database and an instrumented SpiderMonkey runs each script, logging method calls so obfuscation - whitespace and comment randomisation, string splitting, integer rewriting, identifier renaming - does not hide behaviour.
