Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• A review of recent works on LLM applications in malware code analysis, summarizing current research trends. • First work exploring malware code analysis using LLMs, covering detection, generation, monitoring, reverse-engineering, and family analysis. • Investigation of how LLMs interpret source code semantics and structure to identify malicious behavior. • Insights into the role of LLMs in improving malware detection by recognizing and predicting code patterns. • Exploring the potential of LLMs to improve malware code analysis based on reverse-engineering process.
