Machine Learning for Analyzing Malware

Abstract

The Internet has become an indispensable part of people’s work and life, but it also provides favorable communication conditions for malwares. Therefore, malwares are endless and spread faster and become one of the main threats of current network security. Based on the malware analysis process, from the original feature extraction and feature selection to malware analysis, this paper introduces the machine learning algorithms such as classification, clustering and association analysis, and how to use these machine learning algorithms to effectively analyze the malware and its variants.
