Learning Techniques

In the Internet age, malware (such as viruses, trojans, ransomware, and bots) has posed serious andevolving security threats to Internet users. To protect legitimate users from these threats, anti-malware softwareproducts from different companies, including Comodo, Kaspersky, Kingsoft, and Symantec, provide the majordefense against malware. Unfortunately, driven by the economic benefits, the number of new malware sampleshas explosively increased: anti-malware vendors are now confronted with millions of potential malware samplesper year. In order to keep on combating the increase in malware samples, there is an urgent need to developintelligent methods for effective and efficient malware detection from the real and large daily sample collection.One of the most common approaches in literature is using machine learning techniques, to automatically learnmodels and patterns behind such complexity, and to develop technologies to keep pace with malware evolution.This survey aims at providing an overview on the way machine learning has been used so far in the context ofmalware analysis in Windows environments. This paper gives an survey on the features related to malware filesor documents and what machine learning techniques they employ (i.e., what algorithm is used to process the inputand produce the output). Different issues and challenges are also discussed.

Rapid Spread

Today, many of devices are connected to internet through networks. Malware (such as computer viruses, trojans, ransomware, and bots) has becoming a critical concern and evolving security threats to the internet users nowadays. To make legitimate users safe from these attacks, many anti-malware software products has been developed. Which provide the major defensive methods against those malwares. Due to rapid spread and easiness of generating malicious code, the number of new malware samples has dramatically increased. There need to take an immediate action against these increase in malware samples which would result in an intelligent method for malware detection. Machine learning approaches are one of the efficient choices to deal with the problem which helps to distinguish malware from benign ones. In this paper we are considering xception model for malware detection. This experiment results shows the efficiency of our proposed method, which gives 98% accuracy with malimg dataset. This paper helps network security area for their efficient works.

Learning Techniques

New types of malware with unique characteristics are being created daily in legion. This exponential increase in malwareis creating a threat to the internet. From the past decade, various techniques of malware analysis and malware detection have been developed to prevent the efficacy of malware. However, due to the fast-growing numbers and complexities in malware, it is getting difficult to detect and analyze the malware manually. Because of the inefficiency in manual malware analysis, automated malware detection and analysis would be a better solution. Thus, malware analysis supported by machine learning became a required part of malware analysis. The automation used in learning patterns in malware can help in efficiently identifying the complexities. Malware Analysis with help the Machine learning would be more efficacious in terms of automation and memory usage. In this paper, we conducted a review of emerging various ML (Machine Learning) strategies used so far, in the field of malware analysis, to give a comprehensive view of the existing processes. We systemized them on various aspects like their objectives, machine learning algorithms used, information about the malware, etc. We also highlighted the existing problems in this particular field of study and tried to find multiple ways in which advancements can happen concerning the current trends being used.

Localization Systems

The GPS signals are not available inside the buildings; hence, indoor localization systems rely on indoor technologies such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and RFID. These signals are used for estimating the distance between a target and available reference points. By combining the estimated distances, the location of the target nodes is determined. The wide spreading of the internet and the exponential increase in small hardware diversity allow the creation of the internet of things (IoT)-based indoor localization systems. This chapter reviews the traditional and machine learning-based methods for IoT-based positioning systems. The traditional methods include various distance estimation and localization approaches; however, these approaches have some limitations. Because of the high prediction performance, machine learning algorithms are used for indoor localization problems in recent years. The chapter focuses on presenting an overview of the application of machine learning algorithms in indoor localization problems where the traditional methods remain incapable.

Cyberspace has become an indispensable factor for all areas of the modern world. The world is becoming more and more dependent on the internet for everyday living. The increasing dependency on the internet has also widened the risks of malicious threats. On account of growing cybersecurity risks, cybersecurity has become the most pivotal element in the cyber world to battle against all cyber threats, attacks, and frauds. The expanding cyberspace is highly exposed to the intensifying possibility of being attacked by interminable cyber threats. The objective of this survey is to bestow a brief review of different machine learning (ML) techniques to get to the bottom of all the developments made in detection methods for potential cybersecurity risks. These cybersecurity risk detection methods mainly comprise of fraud detection, intrusion detection, spam detection, and malware detection. In this review paper, we build upon the existing literature of applications of ML models in cybersecurity and provide a comprehensive review of ML techniques in cybersecurity. To the best of our knowledge, we have made the first attempt to give a comparison of the time complexity of commonly used ML models in cybersecurity. We have comprehensively compared each classifier’s performance based on frequently used datasets and sub-domains of cyber threats. This work also provides a brief introduction of machine learning models besides commonly used security datasets. Despite having all the primary precedence, cybersecurity has its constraints compromises, and challenges. This work also expounds on the enormous current challenges and limitations faced during the application of machine learning techniques in cybersecurity.

The Web

Due to the substantial growth of internet users and its spontaneous access via electronic devices, the amount of electronic contents has been growing enormously in recent years through instant messaging, social networking posts, blogs, online portals and other digital platforms. Unfortunately, the misapplication of technologies has increased with this rapid growth of online content, which leads to the rise in suspicious activities. People misuse the web media to disseminate malicious activity, perform the illegal movement, abuse other people, and publicize suspicious contents on the web. The suspicious contents usually available in the form of text, audio, or video, whereas text contents have been used in most of the cases to perform suspicious activities. Thus, one of the most challenging issues for NLP researchers is to develop a system that can identify suspicious text efficiently from the specific contents. In this paper, a Machine Learning (ML)-based classification model is proposed (hereafter called STD) to classify Bengali text into non-suspicious and suspicious categories based on its original contents. A set of ML classifiers with various features has been used on our developed corpus, consisting of 7000 Bengali text documents where 5600 documents used for training and 1400 documents used for testing. The performance of the proposed system is compared with the human baseline and existing ML techniques. The SGD classifier ‘tf-idf’ with the combination of unigram and bigram features are used to achieve the highest accuracy of 84.57%.
