Machine learning for analyzing malware

Abstract

The Internet has become an indispensable part of people’s work and life. It 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 detection, this paper introduces the machine learning algorithm such as clustering, classification and association analysis, and how to use the machine learning algorithm to malware and its variants for effective analysis.
