Abstract | Malware is one of the main security threats in this digital world. Traditional security solutions can not keep space with the emerging malwares. Currently, machine learning has bear fruit in many areas and its application in security receives more and more attention. Many different features can be used as input features, such as opcodes and byte entropy. Raw bytes of binaries can also act as the inputs of machine learning without any domain knowledge. However, the input size of raw bytes is confined. And when the binary sizes differ greatly, pure raw bytes may lack the key information to make right decisions. In this paper, we implement a detection model called TuningMalconv, which uses richer features to detect malwares. TuningMalconv is made up of two layers and the two layers are independent models. Raw bytes are the input features of the first layer. If the first layer lacks the confidence to make decisions. The second layer extracts n-grams of byte codes, PE imports, string patterns in binaries, and PE section names from the binaries. And then the second layer takes these features as inputs to make the final decisions. We use two datasets to evaluate our model, a small one and a large one. The experiment results show that TuningMalconv can achieve robust performance. It takes about 1100 seconds to detect 8213 softwares, which is practical. And the overall accuracy of TuningMalconv can reach 99.03% on our small dataset and 98.69% on the large dataset. Thus TuningMalconv can perform efficient and effective malware detection with extended features beyond raw bytes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
