System for analysis and authorization for use of executable environment data in a computing system using hash outputs

Abstract:

A virtual environment system for validating executable data using authorized hash outputs is provided. In particular, the system may generate a virtual environment using a virtual environment device, where the virtual environment is logically and/or physically separated from other devices and/or environments within the network. The system may then open a specified set of executable data within the virtual environment and perform a set of commands or processes with respect to the executable data. If the system determines that the executable data is unsafe to run, the system may generate a hash output of the executable data and store the hash output in a database of unauthorized executable data. In this way, the system may securely generate a repository of authorized and unauthorized hashes such that the system may ensure that unsafe executable data is blocked from being processed within a network environment.
