MalTree: Tracing Malware Evolution from Embeddings at Scale

Malware detection remains largely reactive: machine learning models trained on known samples degrade as threats evolve. Understanding evolutionary relationships among malware families can inform proactive defense, but traditional reverse engineering can take months to years to uncover such lineag...

Analyzing PDFs like Binaries: Adversarially Robust PDF Malware Analysis Via Intermediate Representation and Language Model

Malicious PDF files have emerged as a persistent threat and become a popular attack vector in web-based attacks. While machine learning-based PDF malware classifiers have shown promise, these classifiers are often susceptible to adversarial attacks, undermining their reliability. To address this...
