Creating malware baits
You can create a malware bait if you want the system to identify the malware type that you are defining by means of baits that can attract the malware.
-
On the Main tab, click Security > Fraud Protection Service > Anti-Fraud Profiles.
The Anti-Fraud Profiles screen opens.
-
From the list of profiles, select the relevant profile.
The Anti-Fraud Profile Properties screen opens.
-
In the Anti-Fraud Configuration area, click Malware Detection > Malware List.
The list of user-defined malware types is displayed.
-
In the Malware List, click the malware type on which you want to create malware baits, or click Add to add a new malware type.
Note: If you click Add to add a new malware type, you should first assign a name to the malware type in the General Settings area before proceeding to the next step.
The Malware Properties screen appears.
-
In the Malware Configuration area, select Baits.
The Baits list appears.
-
Click Add.
A new row is added to the list of malware baits.
-
In the Trigger URL field, type a trigger URL that is used to attract the malware.
-
From the Position list, select one of the positions for the trigger URL in the query string of the bait file:
- Any: The trigger URL can be anywhere in the query string.
- Last: The trigger URL must be at the end of the query string.
- Alone: The query string must contain only the trigger URL.
-
In the Data Before field, type HTML tags that the malware looks for before the malicious injection.
-
In the Data Inject field, type the malicious code or script that the malware injects in the HTML of the web page.
-
Click Save.
The malware bait is saved.
If the system detects in the client’s web browser that malware has attacked the bait you defined, it generates an alert.
