Method and device for monitoring an unauthorized memory access of a computing device, in particular in a motor vehicle

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store:
• a sequence pattern comprising processor executable software code, which when executed by the processor, defines the function of the computing device, and
• a monitoring medium, having only software code sections, the monitoring medium having at least one sensor medium adapted for recognizing an event of the computing device, wherein the monitoring medium further includes at least one recognition medium adapted for tracking the behavior of the event recognized by the sensor medium,
• wherein the monitoring medium is integrated into the sequence pattern in the memory of the computing device by inserting all of the software code sections comprising the monitoring medium into the processor executable software code comprising the sequence pattern, and the monitoring medium is adapted to monitor the sequence pattern at its runtime, and wherein attempted memory accesses to an unauthorized memory address or an unauthorized address range are detected using only the software code sections that comprise the monitoring medium as the event,
• wherein said sequence pattern and monitoring medium are both executed by said processor such that said attempted memory accesses are detected using only said processor.
