通过提取图标信息提高恶意软件检测准确率

Improving Malware Detection Accuracy by Extracting Icon Information

Pedro Silva, Sepehr Akhavan-Masouleh, Li Li

摘要:

现在通常使用统计和机器学习模型来检测PE恶意软件文件。虽然这些模型通常使用从PE文件结构中提取的特征,但我们建议这些文件中的图标也可以帮助更好地预测恶意软件。我们提出了一个创新的机器学习方法来提取信息的图标。我们提出的方法包括两个步骤:1)使用摘要静态,梯度直方图(HOG)和卷积自动编码器提取图标特征,2)基于提取的图标特征聚类图标。使用公开的数据和使用机器学习实验,我们表明我们提出的图标集群显着提高恶意软件预测模型的功效。特别是,我们的实验表明,当在预测模型中使用图标集群时,平均准确率提高了10%。

英文摘要:

Detecting PE malware files is now commonly approached using statistical and machine learning models. While these models commonly use features extracted from the structure of PE files, we propose that icons from these files can also help better predict malware. We propose an innovative machine learning approach to extract information from icons. Our proposed approach consists of two steps: 1) extracting icon features using summary statics, histogram of gradients (HOG), and a convolutional autoencoder, 2) clustering icons based on the extracted icon features. Using publicly available data and by using machine learning experiments, we show our proposed icon clusters significantly boost the efficacy of malware prediction models. In particular, our experiments show an average accuracy increase of 10% when icon clusters are used in the prediction model.
