A Network-Based Framework for Mobile Threat Detection
2018
Mobile malware attacks increased three folds in the past few years and continued to expand with the growing number of mobile users. Adversary uses a variety of evasion techniques to avoid detection by traditional systems, which increase the diversity of malicious applications. Thus, there is a need for an intelligent system that copes with this issue. This paper proposes a machine learning (ML) based framework to counter rapid evolution of mobile threats. This model is based on flow-based features, that will work on the network side. This model is designed with adversarial input in mind. The model uses 40 timebased network flow features, extracted from the real-time traffic of malicious and…
Support vector machine integrated with game-theoretic approach and genetic algorithm for the detection and classification of malware
2013
Abstract. —In the modern world, a rapid growth of mali- cious software production has become one of the most signifi- cant threats to the network security. Unfortunately, wides pread signature-based anti-malware strategies can not help to de tect malware unseen previously nor deal with code obfuscation te ch- niques employed by malware designers. In our study, the prob lem of malware detection and classification is solved by applyin g a data-mining-based approach that relies on supervised mach ine- learning. Executable files are presented in the form of byte a nd opcode sequences and n-gram models are employed to extract essential features from these sequences. Feature vectors o btained are…
