Detection of malware is a complex process. Many developers face problem in detecting the malware. The Malware is program or software that damages the computer system. Malicious Software is “any code added, changed, or removed from a software system to intentionally cause harm or subvert the system’s intended function”. Malware is a type of intrusion in the computer network. Excellent technology...

In recent years, the security threats imposed by email-based malware, modeling the propagation analysis and prevention of email malware becomes a fundamental technique for predicting its potential damages and developing effective countermeasures. Compared to earlier versions of mail malware, modern email malware exhibits two new features. One is reinfection and another one is self-start. In rei...

Static detection of malware variants plays an important role in system security and control flow has been shown as an effective characteristic that represents polymorphic malware. In our research, we propose a similarity search of malware to detect these variants using novel distance metrics. We describe a malware signature by the set of control flow graphs the malware contains. We first experi...

A malware is a program that has a malicious intent. Nowadays, attack from malwares is rising in alarming fashion and thousands of malwares are injected to the Internet. Malware authors use many techniques like obfuscation and packing to avoid detection. A number of techniques for malware detection are available and none of them able to detect all types of malwares. In this paper, a more efficie...

We present a malware detection approach by focusing on the characteristic behaviors of human users. We explore the human-malware differences and utilize them to aid the detection of infected hosts. There are two main research challenges in this study: one is how to select characteristic behavior features, and the other is how to prevent malware forgeries. We address both questions in this paper...

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...

Malware stands for malicious software. It is software that is designed with a harmful intent. A malware detector is a system that attempts to identify malware using Application Programming Interface (API) call graph technique and/or other techniques. API call graph techniques follow two main steps, namely, transformation of malware samples into an API call graph using API call graph constructio...

Malware is software which was invented and meant for doing harms on computers. Malware is becoming a significant threat in computer network nowadays. Malware attack is not just only involving financial lost but it can also cause fatal errors which may cost lives in some cases. As new Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) emerged, many people believe this protocol could solve most malware propagati...

Up to now, there is little empirically backed quantitative and qualitative knowledge about self-replicating malware publicly available. This hampers research in these topics because many counter-strategies against malware, e.g., networkand host-based intrusion detection systems, need hard empirical data to take full effect. We present the nepenthes platform, a framework for large-scale collecti...
