    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for detecting software attacks on a process executing on a computing device. Various embodiment methods may include monitoring structural attributes of a plurality of virtual memory regions utilized by the process, and comparing the monitored structural attributes to the expected structural attributes of the plurality of VMRs. Various embodiment methods may further include determining whether the monitored structural attributes represent anomalous behavior of the process based on the comparison between the monitored structural attributes and the expected structural attributes.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for dynamically modifying shared libraries on a client computing device. Various embodiment methods may include receiving a first set of code segments and a first set of code sites associated with a first application. Each code in the first set of code sites may include an address within a compiled shared library stored on the client computing device. The compiled shared library may include one or more dummy instructions inserted at each code site in the first set of code sites, and each code segment in the first set of code segments may be associated with a code site in the first set of code sites. The client computing device may insert each code segment in the first set of code segments at its associated code site in the compiled shared library.
