Malware Images:Visualization and Automatic Classification

2011-07-20 · Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security 2011 7 · Nataraj L., Karthikeyan S., Jacob G., Manjunath B. S.

We propose a simple yet effective method for visualizing and classifying malware using image processing techniques. Malware binaries are visualized as gray-scale images, with the observation that for many malware families, the images belonging to the same family appear very similar in layout and texture. Motivated by this visual similarity, a classification method using standard image features is proposed. Neither disassembly nor code execution is required for classification. Preliminary experimental results are quite promising with 98% classification accuracy on a malware database of 9,458 samples with 25 different malware families. Our technique also exhibits interesting resilience to popular obfuscation techniques such as section encryption.

Using Convolutional Neural Networks for Classification of Malware represented as Images

2018-08-27 · Daniel Gibert, Carles Mateu, Jordi Planes & Ramon Vicens

The number of malicious files detected every year are counted by millions. One of the main reasons for these high volumes of different files is the fact that, in order to evade detection, malware authors add mutation. Th…
