MALWARE

 Malware is any software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer, server,


client, or computer network. A wide variety of malware types exist, including computer
viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, rogue software, wiper
and scareware.
 Types of malware
• Trojan horse
• Virus
• Adware
• Bitware
MACHINE LEARNING

 Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model


building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems
can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human
intervention.
 Types of machine learning
 Supervised learning
 Unsupervised learning
 Reinforcement learning
EXISTING SYSTEMS

 Malware detection by using window api sequence and machine learning


 Detecting unknown malicious code by applying classification techniques on
oppose patterns
 Detecting scareware by mining variable length instructions sequence
 Accurate adware detection using oppose sequence extraction
 Detection of spyware by mining executable files
 Detection by using neural networks on the malware
PROBLEM IDENTIFIED

 Detecting unknown malicious code by applying classifications techniques


on oppose pattern : Evaluated number of experiments and found that
setting of 2 grams, TF, using 300 features selected by Df measured
outperform the perform lacks ML specific techniques
 Detecting scareware by Mining variable length instructions sequence: This
paper present the static analysis method based on data mining which extends
the general heuristic detection techniques using a variable length instructions
sequence mining approach for purpose of scareware detection but metrics
specific and unsupervised techniques un included can be broken
PROPOSED SOLUTION WITH ALGORITHMS

 Machine learning can easily identify the malware in the data and datasets
 Different types of machine learning algorithms are applied such as :
 DECISION TREE
 SVM
 Random forest
 XG boost
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
CONCLUSION

 A Malware is critical threat to user computer system in terms of stealing


confidential information or disabling security.
 This project present some of the existing machine learning algorithms directly
applied on the data or datasets of malware
 It explains the how the algorithms will play a role in detecting malware wit
high accuracy and predictions
 We are also using data science and data mining techniques to overcome the
drawbacks of existing system
