Malware poses a critical and ever-evolving threat, and robust and effective systems for detecting and classifying malware are of essential importance. $n$-grams features are among the common static features used in effective machine learning systems for malware, but these features are inherently brittle.

arXiv:2606. 02834v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malware analysis starts with the raw bytes of an executable program, and tools to "lift" these to higher-level representations, such as assembly, are expensive and subject to error.
Most corporate workplace environments enforce policies and technical controls that limit the storage of sensitive data on client endpoints. Consequently, ransomware operators have evolved variants that expand their attack surface from local systems to network drives and shared storage resources.
arXiv:2606. 03432v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The number of malware (either variant or novel) is rapidly increasing, making malware detection and mitigation a complex problem.
arXiv:2608. 02671v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malware detection using Hardware Performance Counters (HPC) has emerged as a promising solution to improve the security of computing systems as a complement to antivirus software.

arXiv:2606. 16072v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Compared with binaries and decompiled code, malware source code more directly reflects the attackers' original intent.
arXiv:2606. 20436v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malware analysts often inspect compiled binaries through decompiled pseudo-C, when source code is unavailable.
arXiv:2607. 01601v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large scale document deduplication must preserve semantic equivalence while remaining efficient over massive corpora.
arXiv:2606. 06815v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As malware illustrates a complex structure and behavior, detection of these has been a significant challenge in the domain of cybersecurity along with related services in daily life.
arXiv:2606. 30572v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Malware classification remains a challenging problem due to its inherent heterogeneity, the presence of packed binaries, and the diverse distribution of malware families.
arXiv:2606. 30819v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative AI has emerged as a significant cybersecurity threat, with several recent attack campaigns leveraging LLMs to generate code for malicious purposes via scripting languages such as PowerShell.
