The rapid evolution of malware has necessitated the development of sophisticated detection methods that go beyond traditional signature-based approaches. Graph learning techniques have emerged as powerful tools for modeling and analyzing…
Malware poses a significant security risk to individuals, organizations, and critical infrastructure by compromising systems and data. Leveraging memory dumps that offer snapshots of computer memory can aid the analysis and detection of…
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to secure computer networks reports indicators for an attack as alerts. However, every attack can result in a multitude of IDS alerts that need to be correlated to see the full picture of the attack. In…
In cloud computing environments with many virtual machines, containers, and other systems, an epidemic of malware can be highly threatening to business processes. In this vision paper, we introduce a hierarchical approach to performing…
For years security machine learning research has promised to obviate the need for signature based detection by automatically learning to detect indicators of attack. Unfortunately, this vision hasn't come to fruition: in fact, developing…
Malware detection plays a vital role in computer security. Modern machine learning approaches have been centered around domain knowledge for extracting malicious features. However, many potential features can be used, and it is time…
Managing the threat posed by malware requires accurate detection and classification techniques. Traditional detection strategies, such as signature scanning, rely on manual analysis of malware to extract relevant features, which is labor…
Ontologies are a standard tool for creating semantic schemata in many knowledge intensive domains of human interest. They are becoming increasingly important also in the areas that have been until very recently dominated by subsymbolic…
Malware distribution to the victim network is commonly performed through file attachments in phishing email or from the internet, when the victim interacts with the source of infection. To detect and prevent the malware distribution in the…
In this paper, we propose a new feature extraction technique for program execution logs. First, we automatically extract complex patterns from a program's behavior graph. Then, we embed these patterns into a continuous space by training an…
Current modularity-based community detection algorithms attempt to find cluster memberships that maximize modularity within a fixed graph topology. Diverging from this conventional approach, our work introduces a novel strategy that employs…
We aim to improve segmentation through the use of machine learning tools during region agglomeration. We propose an active learning approach for performing hierarchical agglomerative segmentation from superpixels. Our method combines…
Convolutional Networks have dominated the field of computer vision for the last ten years, exhibiting extremely powerful feature extraction capabilities and outstanding classification performance. The main strategy to prolong this trend…
The metamorphic malware variants with the same malicious behavior (family), can obfuscate themselves to look different from each other. This variation in structure leads to a huge signature database for traditional signature matching…
Malware developers exploit the fact that most detection models focus on the entire binary to extract the feature rather than on the regions of potential maliciousness. Therefore, they reverse engineer a benign binary and inject malicious…
In today's digital world most of the anti-malware tools are signature based which is ineffective to detect advanced unknown malware viz. metamorphic malware. In this paper, we study the frequency of opcode occurrence to detect unknown…
Background. In modern software development, the use of external libraries and packages is increasingly prevalent, streamlining the software development process and enabling developers to deploy feature-rich systems with little coding. While…
Feature extraction is a very crucial task in image and pixel (voxel) classification and regression in biomedical image modeling. In this work we present a machine learning based feature extraction scheme based on inception models for pixel…
The paper describes how to detect malicious executable files based on static analysis of their binary content. The stages of pre-processing and cleaning data extracted from different areas of executable files are analyzed. Methods of…
In recent years, the increase in non-Windows malware threats had turned the focus of the cybersecurity community. Research works on hunting Windows PE-based malwares are maturing, whereas the developments on Linux malware threat hunting are…
