Original Abstract Submitted
At least in some examples, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium can be encoded with instructions for analysing an operating system configuration, the instructions executable by a processor of a system, whereby to cause the system to generate a set of malware samples, each malware sample defined by a set of actions forming an attack chain representing a sequence of procedures, execute each of the malware samples on an instance of the operating system configuration to generate a set of logs, and using the set of logs, determine a set of actions detected by an anti-malware process of the operating system configuration.
