Breaking Windows Malware Detection: A Comprehensive Evaluation of Problem-Space Adversarial Robustness

Problem-space evasion attacks have exposed critical weaknesses in machine learning-based malware detectors; yet, their evaluation remains fragmented across models, datasets, and attack methodologies, often neglecting domain-specific requirements such as executability and functionality preservatio...

DroidBreaker: Practical and Functional Problem-Space Attacks on Machine-Learning Android Malware Detectors

Adversarial APKs are Android applications modified in the problem space to evade machine-learning malware detectors. In this work, we first show that, despite claims, existing problem-space attacks remain largely impractical. Most techniques leverage software transplantation to inject entire beni...

Tarallo: Evading Behavioral Malware Detectors in the Problem Space

Machine learning algorithms can effectively classify malware through dynamic behavior but are susceptible to adversarial attacks. Existing attacks, however, often fail to find an effective solution in both the feature and problem spaces. This issue arises from not addressing the intrinsic...
