Fighting advanced malware using machine learning (English)FFRI, Inc.
In this paper, behavioral-based detection powered by machine learning is introduced. As the result, detection ratio is dramatically improved by comparison with traditional detection.
Needless to say that malware detection is getting harder today. Everybody knows signature-based detection reaches its limit, so that most anti-virus vendors use heuristic, behavioral and reputation-based detections altogether. About targeted attack, basically attackers use undetectable malware, so that reputation-based detection doesn't work well because it needs other victims beforehand. And it is a fact that detection ratio is not enough though we use heuristic and behavioral-based detections. In our research using the Metascan, average detection ratio of newest malware by most anti-virus scanner is about 30 %( the best is about 60 %).
By the way, heuristic and behavioral-based detections are developed by knowledge and experience of malware analyst. For example, most analysts know that following features are indicator that those programs are malicious.
- A file imports VirtualAlloc, VirtualProtect and LoadLibrary only and has a strange section name
- An entry point that does not fall within declared text or code section
- Creating remote threads into a legitimate process like explore.exe
- After unpacking, calling OpenMutex and CreateMutex to avoid multiple infections
- Register itself to auto start extension points like services and registry
- Creating a .bat file and try to delete own itself through executing the file with cmd.exe
- Setting global hook to capture keystroke using SetWindowsHookEx
Heuristic and behavioral-based detections are developed based on those pre-determined features like above. Analysts are finding those features day by day. But, this kind of work is not appropriate for human. Therefore we classified programs as malware or benign by machine learning through dynamic analysis results. Thereby, detection ratio is dramatically improved and we could recognize that which features are strongly related to malware by numeric score. And then, we could find the features which we’ve never found by this method. Finally, the outlook and challenges of this method will be tackled.

“There is a desperate need for new standards for today’s anti-virus products. The dominant paradigm, scanning directories of files, is focused on old and known threats, and reveals little about product efficacy in the wild.”

Machine Learning for Malware Classification and ClusteringAshwini Almad
In this talk, we will give an overview of the machine learning model that is the foundation of Endgame’s automated malware classifier. We will discuss challenges and best approaches to finding a metric that adequately summarizes a model's performance recognizing malware and we will show how model results inform the more tactical analysis of malware researchers.
An Introduction to Malware ClassificationJohn Seymour
With more than 1 million new pieces of malware released every day, security vendors are turning toward machine learning to automate threat detection. This talk aims to give new researchers the background they need for contributing to this field. We'll talk about sources for malicious PE files, consistently top-performing machine learning algorithms, extracting features, and how to prevent overfitting. (20 minute)
Before start testing web site it’s very important to know about which all testing methods needs to cover.
# The current state of the penetration test practice is far from optimal
# Automating them may bring them to a new level of quality
# But in doing so we will face many technical problems
# It may be a new challenge for the IS industry in the near future

Transforming your Security Products at the EndpointIvanti
Are you thinking about extending the endpoint capabilities of your Security Solution? Join us for a dep dive into the value of embedding patch management capabilities into your security software. Learn how other security companies have chosen to add patching and remdiation. Why in 2018 patching is more important than ever as your customers confront ransomware, zero day attacks, and more.
In today's increasingly digitalised world, software defects are enormously expensive. In 2018, the Consortium for IT Software Quality reported that software defects cost the global economy $2.84 trillion dollars and affected more than 4 billion people. The average annual cost of software defects on Australian businesses is A$29 billion per year. Thus, failure to eliminate defects in safety-critical systems could result in serious injury to people, threats to life, death, and disasters. Traditionally, software quality assurance activities like testing and code review are widely adopted to discover software defects in a software product. However, ultra-large-scale systems, such as, Google, can consist of more than two billion lines of code, so exhaustively reviewing and testing every single line of code isn't feasible with limited time and resources. This project aims to create technologies that enable software engineers to produce the highest quality software systems with the lowest operational costs. To achieve this, this project will invent an end-to-end explainable AI platform to (1) understand the nature of critical defects; (2) predict and locate defects; (3) explain and visualise the characteristics of defects; (4) suggest potential patches to automatically fix defects; (5) integrate such platform as a GitHub bot plugin.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
