Partitional Clustering of Malware Using K-Means
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a novel method aiming to cluster datasets containing malware behavioural data. Our method transform the data into an standardised data matrix that can be used in any clustering algorithm, finds the number of clusters in the data set and includes an optional visualization step for high-dimensional data using principal component analysis. Our clustering method deals well with categorical data, and it is able to cluster the behavioural data of 17,000 websites, acquired with Capture-HPC, in less than 2 minutes.

Genetic Algorithms in Partitional Clustering: A Comparison
Three approaches to partitional clustering using genetic algorithms (GA) are compared with k-means and the EM algorithm for three real world datasets (Iris, Glass and Vowel). The GA techniques differ in their encoding of the clustering problem using either a class id for each object (GAIE), medoids to assign objects to the class associated with the nearest medoid (GAME), or parameters for multi...
متن کاملAutomatic Clustering Approaches Based On Initial Seed Points
-Since clustering is applied in many fields, a number of clustering techniques and algorithms have been proposed and are available in the literature. This paper proposes a novel approach to address the major problems in any of the partitional clustering algorithms like choosing appropriate K-value and selection of K-initial seed points. The performance of any partitional clustering algorithms d...

متن کاملOn Partitional Clustering of Malware
In this paper we fully describe a novel clustering method for malware, from the transformation of data into a manipulable standardised data matrix, finding the number of clusters until the clustering itself including visualisation of the high-dimensional data. Our clustering method deals well with categorical data and clusters the behavioural data of 17,000 websites, acquired with Capture-HPC, ...
متن کاملSegmentation by Blended Partitional Clustering for Different Color Spaces
This paper presents a new segmentation strategy, based on a blended procedure whose goal is to combine several segmentation maps in order to finally get a more reliable and accurate segmentation result. The fusion strategy aims at combining these segmentation maps with a final clustering procedure using as input features, the local histogram of the class labels, previously estimated and associa...
