Abstract:One of the main challenges in malware detection is the discovery of malicious behaviors. This task requires a huge amount of engineering and manual study of the code. To avoid this tedious manual task, we propose in this paper a tool, called STAMAD, that, given a training set of known malwares and benign programs, (1) either automatically extracts malicious behaviors using Information Retrieval techniques, or (2) applies machine learning techniques to automatically learn malwares. Then, in both cases, STAMAD c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
