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...

As the underground market of malware flourishes, there is an exponential increase in the number and diversity of malware. A crucial question in malware analysis research is how to define malware specifications or signatures that faithfully describe similar malicious intent and clearly stand out from other programs. It is evident that the classical syntactic signatures are insufficient to defeat...

Dynamic malware analysis aims at revealing malware’s runtime behavior. To evade analysis, advanced malware is able to detect the underlying analysis tool (e.g., one based on emulation.) On the other hand, existing malware-transparent analysis tools incur significant performance overhead, making them unsuitable for live malware monitoring and forensics. In this paper, we present IntroLib, a prac...

This paper presents SmartMal--a novel service-oriented behavioral malware detection framework for vehicular and mobile devices. The highlight of SmartMal is to introduce service-oriented architecture (SOA) concepts and behavior analysis into the malware detection paradigms. The proposed framework relies on client-server architecture, the client continuously extracts various features and transfe...

The obsolete way in which some anti-virus products are generating malware signatures, is provoking that polymorphic malware detection becomes a tedious problem, when actually it is not so hard. This paper describes the basics of a method by which the generic classification of polymorphic malware could be considered as a trivial issue .

Macro based Malware has taken a great rise is these recent years, Attackers are now using this malware for hacking purposes. This virus embedded inside the macro of word document and can be used to infect victim’s machine. These infected files usually sent through emails all antivirus software unable detect due format file. Due being rich text file not an executable file, able bypass security. ...
