A Novel Malware Classification Method Based on Crucial Behavior

Table 1

Summary of malware detection and classification work.

Approach	Features	Note
Eskandari et al. [27]	API call sequence	Simple, vulnerable to reorder or irrelevant API calls
Lee et al. [28]	API call sequence
Hansen et al. [29]	API call sequence; arguments; frequency
Amin [30, 31]	Opcode	End-to-end learning
D’Angelo et al. [32]	API call sequence-based image
Park et al. [34]	Behavioral graph	High dimensional features can bring more calculations
Elhadi et al. [11]	API call graph
Nikolopoulos and Polenakis [35]	System call dependency graph
Fredrikson et al. [37]	Optimally discriminative specification	Simplified representation of behavior graphs
Alam et al. [40]	Control flow graph-based feature
Ding et al. [41]	API dependency graph
