- Abstract
- Emerging sophisticated malware utilises obfuscation to circumvent detection. This is achieved by using packers to disguise their malicious intent. In this paper a novel malware detection method for detecting packed executable files using entropy analysis is proposed. It utilises a reduced feature set of variables to calculate an entropy score from which classification can be performed. Competitive analysis with state-of-the-art reveals an increase in classification accuracy.
