Detecting Malicious .NET Executables Using Extracted Methods Names

摘要
En 中文
The .NET framework is widely used for software development, making it a target for a significant number of malware attacks by developing malicious executables. Previous studies on malware detection often relied on developing generic detection methods for Windows malware that were not tailored to the unique characteristics of .NET executables. As a result, there remains a significant knowledge gap regarding the development of effective detection methods tailored to .NET malware. This work introduces a novel framework for detecting malicious .NET executables using statically extracted method names. To address the lack of datasets focused exclusively on .NET malware, a new dataset consisting of both malicious and benign .NET executable features was created. Our approach involves decompiling .NET executables, parsing the resulting code, and extracting standard .NET method names. Subsequently, feature selection techniques were applied to filter out less relevant method names. The performance of six machine learning models-XGBoost, random forest, K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression, and na & iuml;ve Bayes-was compared. The results indicate that XGBoost outperforms the other models, achieving an accuracy of 96.16% and an F1-score of 96.15%. The experimental results show that standard .NET method names are reliable features for detecting .NET malware.
