Description
Summary:Malware detection have long become a challenge in research. The existing methods rely on malware signature which are proved not to be effective nowadays. The recent researches focus on using probabilistic model such as machine learning to detect the existence of malware. They, however, do not achieve such a good performance. Particularly, machine learning techniques still have an issue of high feature engineering overhead. In this paper, we propose a deep learning method to detect malware based on their malicious behavior. Through experimentation, we show that our method can achieve a very high accuracy rate of 98.75 in F1 measure, compared to state of the art methods.
