A Practical Adversarial Attack against Sequence-Based Deep Learning Malware Classifiers

Sequence-based deep learning models e.g., RNNs, can detect malware by analyzing its behavioral sequences. Meanwhile, these models are susceptible to adversarial attacks. Attackers can create adversarial samples that alter the sequence characteristics of behavior sequences to deceive malware...

Adaptive Malware Detection Using Sequential Feature Selection: a Dueling Double Deep Q-Network (D3QN) Framework for Intelligent Classification

Traditional malware detection methods exhibit computational inefficiency due to exhaustive feature extraction requirements, creating accuracy-efficiency trade-offs that limit real-time deployment. We formulate malware classification as a Markov Decision Process with episodic feature acquisition a...
