Random Projection Method for Scalable Malware Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this poster a new approach for scalable behavioral based malware classification is presented. It is based on the random projection method which is an efficient, effective yet simple dimensionality reduction method. Interestingly, however, the random projection method has not – to the authors’ best knowledge – ever been investigated for its possible usefulness for the malware classification problem. Here, we – for the first time – demonstrate its ability to reduce the dimensionality and to retain the properties of the data important for malware classification; it speeds up the distance calculations by an order of magnitude and yet it does not sacrifice much of the accuracy.

Malware Detection using Classification of Variable-Length Sequences
In this paper, a novel method based on the graph is proposed to classify the sequence of variable length as feature extraction. The proposed method overcomes the problems of the traditional graph with variable length of data, without fixing length of sequences, by determining the most frequent instructions and insertion the rest of instructions on the set of “other”, save speed and memory. Acco...

The challenge in engaging malware activities involves the correct identification and classification of different malware variants. Various malwares incorporate code obfuscation methods that alters their code signatures effectively countering antimalware detection techniques utilizing static methods and signature database. In this study, we utilized an approach of converting a malware binary int...
متن کاملFourier Transform as Feature Extraction for Malware Classification
Research efforts to develop malicious application detection algorithms have been a priority ever since the discovery of the first “viruses”. Fourier transform is used to extract features from binary files. These features are then reduced by random projection algorithm to create a set of low-dimensional features that are used to classify whether the application is malicious or not. A 99.6% accur...

Automatic malware classification is an essential improvement over the widely-deployed detection procedures using manual signatures or heuristics. Although there exists an abundance of methods for collecting static and behavioral malware data, there is a lack of adequate tools for analysis based on these collected features. Machine learning is a statistical solution to the automatic classificati...
