`
`As for dynamic analysis, this can be performed in two ways: emulation (otherwise
`
`known as “Sandbox” or “SBX” in MAA) or virtualization (otherwise known as “iVM” or
`
`“intelliVM” in MAA).
`
` For dynamic analysis,
`
`rather than reading the code of the sample to check for signatures, the sample is actually run, and
`
`the events it performs are monitored. This is sometimes referred to as “detonation,” since the file
`
`is executed, then permitted to run as intended.
`
` In iVM, operations are configured to intercept various actions performed both in user
`
`programs (such as Adobe) and in the operating system kernel.

`
`Specifically, as discussed in Section III.E, my analysis of MAA shows that it
`
`receives a sample uploaded from requesting clients, and then “detonates” the sample by running
`
`it in either a virtualized or emulated sandbox. As the sample is running, MAA keeps track of its
`
`behavior, called “events,” such as network events and file system events. A static analysis of the
`
`sample may also be performed by NSE. The events are saved to disk in a “Google Protocol
`
`Buffers” serialization format.

`
`assertion that these data stores hold “task results,” the cited testimony and exhibits reflect that, at
`
`most, the only thing they can store is a log of all events generated during detonation.
`
`But, contrary to Dr. Cole’s

`
` Event data cannot be “a list of suspicious computer operations”—it is a list of all
`computer operations performed by a sample. Most of these events are not suspicious—in fact, it
`
`may be that none are.
`
`
`
`333.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a listing of all events observed during detonation is not “a list of suspicious operations,” and
`
`therefore does not comprise the claimed security profile data.
`
`As stated above,
