IMCDCF: An Incremental Malware Detection Approach Using Hidden Markov Models
The popularity of dynamic malware analysis has grown significantly, as it enables analysts to observe the behavior of executing samples, thereby enhancing malware detection and classification decisions. With the continuous increase in new malware variants, there is an urgent need for an automated malware analysis engine capable of accurately identifying malware samples. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of malware detection and classification methodologies. Moreover, we introduce a novel framework tailored for the dynamic analysis environment, called the Incremental Malware Detection and Classification Framework (IMDCF). IMDCF offers a comprehensive solution for general-purpose malware detection and classification, achieving an accuracy rate of 96.49
