Image Robust Hashing for Malware Detection

Abstract

This research is focused on a novel approach to detect malware based on static analysis of executable files. Specifically, we treat each executable file as a twodimensional image and use robust hashing techniques to identify whether a given executable belongs to a particular family or not. The hashing stage comprises two steps, namely, feature extraction, and compression. We compare our robust hashing approach to other machine learning-based techniques
