System, method, and computer program product for performing an analysis on a plurality of portions of potentially unwanted data each requested from a different device
View Patent ↗A system, method, and computer program product are provided for performing an analysis on a plurality of portions of potentially unwanted data each requested from a different device. In use, a detection of potentially unwanted data (e.g., potentially malicious data) is identified based on a first analysis. Additionally, receipt of a plurality of portions of the potentially unwanted data is requested, where each of the plurality of portions is requested from a different device. Further, a second analysis is performed on the plurality of portions of the potentially unwanted data for determining whether the potentially unwanted data is unwanted (e.g., malicious).
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising executable instructions stored thereon, the executable instructions to cause a processor to:
identify a detection of potentially unwanted data based on a first analysis;
request receipt of a plurality of different portions of the potentially unwanted data, each of the plurality of different portions requested from a different device
receive the plurality of different portions;
assemble the plurality of different portions; and
perform a second analysis on the plurality of different portions of the potentially unwanted data for determining whether the potentially unwanted data is unwanted.
2. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the potentially unwanted data includes potentially malicious data.
3. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the first analysis is performed at a client device.
4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the first analysis includes monitoring the client device.
5. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the first analysis includes a behavioral analysis.
6. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the first analysis includes a heuristic analysis.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the executable instructions to cause a processor to identify comprise instructions to cause the processor to receive notification of the detection from the client device.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein each of the different devices have detected the potentially unwanted data.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of different portions are assembled during receipt of the plurality of different portions.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , further comprising executable instructions to cause the processor to verify the assembled different portions.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the executable instructions to cause the processor to verify comprise executable instructions to verify using a hash.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein a size of the plurality of different portions is based on a characteristic of each device.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein a size of each of the plurality of different portions requested is based on a network connection speed of an associated one of the different devices.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions to cause the processor to perform the second analysis comprise executable instructions to cause the processor to determine whether the plurality of different portions include malware, and it is determined that the potentially unwanted data is unwanted if it is determined that the plurality of different portions include the malware.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions to cause the processor to identify comprise executable instructions to cause the processor to identify using a hash of the potentially unwanted data.
16. A method, comprising:
identifying a detection of potentially unwanted data based on a first analysis;
requesting receipt of a plurality of different portions of the potentially unwanted data, each of the plurality of different portions requested from a different device
receiving the plurality of different portions;
assembling the plurality of different portions; and
performing a second analysis on the plurality of different portions of the potentially unwanted data for determining whether the potentially unwanted data is unwanted.
17. A system, comprising:
a hardware processor configured to identify a detection of potentially unwanted data based on a first analysis, request receipt of a plurality of different portions of the potentially unwanted data, receive the plurality of different portions, assemble the plurality of different portions, each of the plurality of different portions requested from a different device, and perform a second analysis on the plurality of different portions of the potentially unwanted data to determine whether the potentially unwanted data is unwanted.
