HIT4Mal: Hybrid image transformation for malware classification

Abstract: Modern malware evolves various detection avoidance techniques to bypass the state‐of‐the‐art detection methods. An emerging trend to deal with this issue is the combination of image transformation and machine learning models to classify and detect malware. However, existing works in this field only perform simple image transformation methods. These simple transformations have not considered color encoding and pixel rendering techniques on the performance of machine learning classifiers. In this article, we pro… Show more

“…The texture feature of an image describes the arrangement of the components of each object in the image, and it is a periodically changing visual element. There are three commonly used texture feature extraction methods, which are statistics-based texture feature extraction method, signal processing-based texture feature extraction method, and structure-based feature extraction method [17][18][19][20]. The research object of the texture feature extraction method based on statistics is the gray value of the current pixel, and the extracted texture feature is the first or higher derivative statistical information of gray.…”

“…It is possible to analyze a sample without running it through a process known as static analysis. In contrast, dynamic analysis is the process of executing a sample to determine its behavior like how it performed in different environments [ 23 ]. But we used a different approach; we have analyzed malware files by converting executable malware files into grayscale images, so in this way, there is no harm to our system, which does not need to execute the file.…”
