Systems and methods for defeating malware with polymorphic software

A method including:

• generating randomized relocatable image information, the generating including:
• randomizing a plurality of function information that is included in relocatable image information to generate the randomized relocatable image information, the plurality of function information including a first function information, the first function information including a first location that is used to enter the first function information;
• updating instruction information in the randomized relocatable image information, the updating the instruction information including updating relative address information utilized to enter the first function via the first location based on a new location of the first function in the randomized relocatable image information;
• applying a base address to the randomized relocatable image information to generate randomized executable image information;
• loading the randomized executable image information into the memory;
• and
• executing the randomized executable image information.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the following actions:

• generating randomized relocatable image information, the generating including:
• randomizing a plurality of function information that is included in relocatable image information to generate the randomized relocatable image information, the plurality of function information including a first function information, the first function information including a first location that is used to enter the first function information;
• updating instruction information in the randomized relocatable image information, the updating the instruction information including updating relative address information utilized to enter the first function via the first location based on a new location of the first function in the randomized relocatable image information;
• applying a base address to the randomized relocatable image information to generate randomized executable image information;
• loading the randomized executable image information into the memory;
• and
• executing the randomized executable image information.
