Generating Malware DNA to Classify the Similar Malwares

According to the national information security white paper 2013, the number of hacking attempt in 2012 is 17,570 which is increased by 67.4% than in 2011, and it has been increasing year after year. The cause of this increase is considered as pursuit of monetary profit and diversification techniques of infection. However, because the development of malicious code faster than the increase in the number of experts to analyze and respond the malware, it is difficult to respond to security threats due to malicious code. So, the interest on automatic analysis tools is increasing. In this paper, we proposed the method of malware classification by similarity using malware DNA. It helps the experts to reduce the analysis time, to increase the correctness. The proposed method generates `Malware DNA` from extracted features, and then calculates similarity to classify the malwares.
