Your task is to write a research paper that investigates the ways in which malware can be
abstracted, such that intricate internal knowledge is not required to represent the malware.
For example, previous research has shown we can represent malware in image format, or by
using similarity hashing. More recently, compression-based algorithms have shown promise
in this field.
You should review all related research in this area and give a critical account of each
approach.
This includes your learned opinion on which methods are effective and which are not. You
should identify the strengths and limitations of the research reviewed. Are there any
emerging technologies in this domain that have potential?

Your report should be 5,000 words maximum. You may use Latex or any other format of
your choosing.
