Planning to do a project to detect java malwares,need some ideas! - mandi - 08-08-2010

As the title says me and my friend's are gonna do a mission-impossible kind of thing,that is we are gonna detect "java-malwares".I don't even know it is possible or not...

1)As far as i know,java byte coded are encrypted,so unlike other language's a java virus can not be detected by scan time and run time


2)how can i make a solution for detecting this?

can you guys give me some ideas or tips for this "Mission-impossible" thing?

A programmer on the forum I go to did something like this.

What he did was scan the bytecode of any malicious code that would execute something such as a system call and such. Of course, Java malware and viruses cannot be detected by running through the Java and class files, so your going to have to know a bit about bytecode.
