Özet

Advances in machine learning technologies have provided that malicious programs can be detected based on static and dynamic features. Moreover, a crowded set of studies throughout literature indicates that malware detection can be handled with remarkable accuracy rate once converted into image domain. To realize this, some image based techniques have been developed together with feature extraction and classifiers in order to discover the relation between malware binaries in grayscale color representation. With a similar way, we have contributed the CNN features to overcome the malware detection problem. Findings of experimental research support that the malware types can be classified with 85% accuracy rate when applying the machine learning system on 36 (including benign type) malware families consisting of 12,279 malware samples. Moreover, we have achieved the 99% accuracy rate when conducting and experiment on 25 families having 9, 339 malware samples.
