摘要

摘要

En 中文
The generally increasing volume of malware poses a challenge to the predominantly used static or dynamic analysis, which requires complex disassembly or time-intensive execution. Furthermore, high fea ture dimensionality and feature extraction costs per instance of malware increase overhead. The efficient classification of obfuscated malware, particularly for imbalanced classes, is a major challenge. This paper presents a visualization approach for malware classification to fill the gaps. Motivated by the visual similarity among malware from the same family, this paper proposes binary texture analysis over greyscale images created directly from their malware executables. The technique derives a novel combination of first-order and grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)-based second-order statistical texture features over the visualized malware. Using ensemble learning, the higher F1 score and accuracy obtained us ing Malimg (a benchmark Windows malware dataset) relative to those of state-of-the-art techniques and Windows executables first submitted to VirusTotal from 2018 to 2019 indicate higher efficiency and reliability of the proposed technique for malware classification. Additionally, the proposed technique is robust to obfuscation methods (e.g., packing, code relocation, and encryption). Indeed, the technique uses relatively fewer features extracted without disassembly or code execution in less time, thereby significantly enhancing the scalability of classifying a large-scale malware corpus.
