Machine learning on graphs has made substantial progress across domains such as molecular property prediction and chip design. Yet benchmarking practices remain fragmented, often relying on narrow, task-specific datasets and inconsistent…
Microsoft's PowerShell is a command-line shell and scripting language that is installed by default on Windows machines. While PowerShell can be configured by administrators for restricting access and reducing vulnerabilities, these…
Machine learning models are prone to memorizing sensitive data, making them vulnerable to membership inference attacks in which an adversary aims to guess if an input sample was used to train the model. In this paper, we show that prior…
Accurate classification of white blood cells in peripheral blood is essential for diagnosing hematological diseases. Due to constantly evolving clinical settings, data sources, and disease classifications, it is necessary to update machine…
Vertex classification -- the problem of identifying the class labels of nodes in a graph -- has applicability in a wide variety of domains. Examples include classifying subject areas of papers in citation networks or roles of machines in a…
In contrast to previous surveys, the present work is not focused on reviewing the datasets used in the network security field. The fact is that many of the available public labeled datasets represent the network behavior just for a…
Cyber security can be enhanced through application of machine learning by recasting network attack data into an image format, then applying supervised computer vision and other machine learning techniques to detect malicious specimens.…
Recent work has shown that adversarial Windows malware samples - referred to as adversarial EXEmples in this paper - can bypass machine learning-based detection relying on static code analysis by perturbing relatively few input bytes. To…
Android malware attacks have posed a severe threat to mobile users, necessitating a significant demand for the automated detection system. Among the various tools employed in malware detection, graph representations (e.g., function call…
In many interesting cases, the application of machine learning is hindered by data having a complicated structure stimulated by a structured file-formats like JSONs, XMLs, or ProtoBuffers, which is non-trivial to convert to a vector /…
Graphs are complex objects that do not lend themselves easily to typical learning tasks. Recently, a range of approaches based on graph kernels or graph neural networks have been developed for graph classification and for representation…
Machine-learning based intrusion detection classifiers are able to detect unknown attacks, but at the same time, they may be susceptible to evasion by obfuscation techniques. An adversary intruder which possesses a crucial knowledge about a…
It is becoming more common that adversary attacks consist of more than a standalone executable or script. Often, evidence of an attack includes conspicuous process heritage that may be ignored by traditional static machine learning models.…
The extensive damage caused by malware requires anti-malware systems to be constantly improved to prevent new threats. The current trend in malware detection is to employ machine learning models to aid in the classification process. We…
Behavioral malware detection aims to improve on the performance of static signature-based techniques used by anti-virus systems, which are less effective against modern polymorphic and metamorphic malware. Behavioral malware classification…
With the rapid proliferation and increased sophistication of malicious software (malware), detection methods no longer rely only on manually generated signatures but have also incorporated more general approaches like machine learning…
The proliferation of mobile devices and online interactions have been threatened by different cyberattacks, where phishing attacks and malicious Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) pose significant risks to user security. Traditional phishing…
Abusive behavior is common on online social networks, and forces the hosts of such platforms to find new solutions to address this problem. Various methods have been proposed to automate this task in the past decade. Most of them rely on…
Neural networks are increasingly deployed in real-world safety-critical domains such as autonomous driving, aircraft collision avoidance, and malware detection. However, these networks have been shown to often mispredict on inputs with…
Malicious domains are increasingly common and pose a severe cybersecurity threat. Specifically, many types of current cyber attacks use URLs for attack communications (e.g., C\&C, phishing, and spear-phishing). Despite the continuous…
