On the Limitations of Continual Learning for Malware Classification

1 code implementation13 Aug 2022 Mohammad Saidur Rahman, Scott E. Coull, Matthew Wright

To our surprise, continual learning methods significantly underperformed naive Joint replay of the training data in nearly all settings -- in some cases reducing accuracy by more than 70 percentage points.

Adversarial EXEmples: A Survey and Experimental Evaluation of Practical Attacks on Machine Learning for Windows Malware Detection

2 code implementations17 Aug 2020 Luca Demetrio, Scott E. Coull, Battista Biggio, Giovanni Lagorio, Alessandro Armando, Fabio Roli

Recent work has shown that adversarial Windows malware samples - referred to as adversarial EXEmples in this paper - can bypass machine learning-based detection relying on static code analysis by perturbing relatively few input bytes.

Activation Analysis of a Byte-Based Deep Neural Network for Malware Classification

1 code implementation12 Mar 2019 Scott E. Coull, Christopher Gardner

Feature engineering is one of the most costly aspects of developing effective machine learning models, and that cost is even greater in specialized problem domains, like malware classification, where expert skills are necessary to identify useful features.

Exploring Adversarial Examples in Malware Detection

no code implementations18 Oct 2018 Octavian Suciu, Scott E. Coull, Jeffrey Johns

By training an existing model on a production-scale dataset, we show that some previous attacks are less effective than initially reported, while simultaneously highlighting architectural weaknesses that facilitate new attack strategies for malware classification.
