Idea: Opcode-Sequence-Based Malware Detection
Malware is every malicious code that has the potential to harm any computer or network. The amount of malware is increasing faster every year and poses a serious security threat. Hence, malware detection has become a critical topic in computer security. Currently, signature-based detection is the most extended method within commercial antivirus. Although this method is still used on most popula...
متن کاملCybercrime: The Case of Obfuscated Malware
Cybercrime has rapidly developed in recent years and malware is one of the major security threats in computer which have been in existence from the very early days. There is a lack of understanding of such malware threats and what mechanisms can be used in implementing security prevention as well as to detect the threat. The main contribution of this paper is a step towards addressing this by i...
متن کاملHunting Obfuscated Malware by Abstract Interpretation
The Problem. A malware is a program with a malicious behaviour, that is designed to replicate with no user consent and to damage software and/or data on infected machines. Malware are generally classified according to their goals and propagation methods into viruses, worms, backdoors, Trojans, etc. A malware detector is a system that attempts to verify whether a program presents a malicious beh...
متن کاملDetecting runtime anomalies in AJAX applications through trace analysis
AJAX applications are prone to security vulnerabilities due to the ease of inadvertently entrusting the client with security-critical logic. We characterize exploits of such vulnerabilities as violations of a protocol implicitly defined in the client-side code, and we introduce a method to detect and prevent these protocol violations in middleware, without having to modify the original applicat...
متن کاملOpcode-Sequence-Based Semi-supervised Unknown Malware Detection
Malware is any computer software potentially harmful to both computers and networks. The amount of malware is growing every year and poses a serious global security threat. Signature-based detection is the most extended method in commercial antivirus software, however, it consistently fails to detect new malware. Supervised machine learning has been adopted to solve this issue, but the usefulne...
