- Strider HoneyMonkey is a Microsoft Research project to detect and analyze Web sites
hosting malicious code. The intent is to help stop attacks that use Web servers to
exploit unpatched browser vulnerabilities and install malware on the computers of
unsuspecting users. Such attacks have become one of the most vexing issues confronting
Internet security experts. Strider HoneyMonkey is a project of the Cybersecurity and
Systems Management group in Microsoft Research (which has grown to become today's Internet
Services Research Center - ISRC).
