This project focuses on developing a browser-based malware detection system that monitors JavaScript execution behavior. The system detects malicious scripts embedded in websites that attempt drive-by downloads, data theft, or unauthorized redirections.
Study browser architecture and JavaScript execution environments.
Research common web-based malware techniques such as malicious scripts and exploits.
Design a monitoring system to log JavaScript behavior in a sandboxed environment.
Identify suspicious patterns such as hidden iframe injection or obfuscated scripts.
Implement heuristic-based detection logic.
Develop a browser extension prototype for real-time detection.
Create alerts for suspicious web pages.
Test with safe simulated malicious scripts.
Evaluate detection performance and user experience impact.
Document security implications and deployment considerations.
