Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The malicious JavaScript is a common springboard for attackers to launch several types of network attacks, such as Drive-by-Download and malicious PDF delivery attacks. In order to elude detection of signature matching, malicious JavaScript is always packed (so-called “obfuscation”) with diversified algorithms therefore the occurrence of obfuscation is always a good pointer for potential maliciousness. In this investigation, we propose a light – weight approach for quickly filtering obfuscated JavaScript based on a novel approach of tokenizing JavaScript text at letter level and information-theoretic measure, based on the previous work in the domain of detecting obfuscated malicious code as well as the pattern analysis of natural languages. The new approach is obviously time efficient compared to existing systems since it processes much less objects while we also proved that the approach could also reach the acceptable detection accuracies.
