Protecting your computer from Java based Attacks!
Hello forum,
I have developed an open-source program called JScanner which is a Java Malware Defense Tool.
It allows users to scan class files, Jar files, and Applets for malicious code.
You can watch some videos of JScanner on my Youtube Channel.
The source-code can be found here.

Thanks!

Interesting. How are you detecting whether something is malware in Java?

It uses reflection to inform you if something is using potentially malicious routines, like opening a socket or deleting files.Originally Posted by KevinWorkman
@DMoneigh neat idea. I like your coding style.
Re: Protecting your computer from Java based Attacks!
Wow that's really cool - great work!
Have you considered commercializing it? I know it's difficult (need a license etc.)
but I guess it would be something to consider. If it does well, you can add updates/patches
to any code you develop. Keep up the good work

Re: Protecting your computer from Java based Attacks!
JScanner has a defined, but not limitied to a set of "malicious" methods and or classes that I believe most if not all of the Java Programming Community would agree on being classified as malicious. JScanner has the bytecode signatures of these threatening methods/classes and compares it to the bytecode signatures of the target Java program.

Thank you!

I honestly have not tried commercializing it. The most that I've tried was putting it into some science fairs, where it did not even place.Wow that's really cool - great work!

I will continue to keep updating it. Please be on the lookout for updates!
Thanks.
