Description
Summary:Malware attacks carried out by cybercriminals are becoming increasingly well-organized because of the huge financial rewards that are to be accrued. However this causes se- vere losses to individuals and companies both directly and indirectly. Static analysis prevention can detect known malware with high accuracy but cannot overcome po- lymorphism and packaging techniques. Meanwhile, dynamic analysis shows a high frequency of false positive results. It is for this reason that a new approach to detect malware uses the feature representation of the audio signal by converting the PE binary file to audio file format and extracting into the time domain and frequency domain. The results of this study are able to classify malicious files and distinguish them from be- nign files, as well as classify these files into the appropriate families. The test results show the best accuracy of 98.80% in distinguishing malware classes or benign, and 92.53% accuracy in identifying malware family classes using the XGBoost algorithm.
