A Survey on Malware Detection Techniques

Abstract

Malware programs have become a serious threat as it was developed to damage computer systems, spread over the network or Internet connections. Researchers are making great efforts to produce anti-malware systems with practical ways to detect malware protection and malware detection of computer systems.

Two basic approaches were proposed: based on the signature and the heuristics rule detected, we can detect known malware accurately. However, signature-based detection techniques are regarded as ineffective due to cannot identify unknown malware, code obfuscation, packing, polymorphic and metamorphic malware. This survey paper highlights current detection and analysis methodologies used in malicious codes.
