Longitudinal Study of the Prevalence of Malware Evasive Techniques

Lorenzo Maffia, Dario Nisi, Platon Kotzias +3

By their very nature, malware samples employ a variety of techniques to conceal their malicious behavior and hide it from analysis tools. To mitigate the problem, a large number of…

Adversarial EXEmples: A Survey and Experimental Evaluation of Practical Attacks on Machine Learning for Windows Malware Detection

Luca Demetrio, Scott E. Coull, Battista Biggio +3

Recent work has shown that adversarial Windows malware samples - referred to as adversarial EXEmples in this paper - can bypass machine learning-based detection relying on static c…

Functionality-preserving Black-box Optimization of Adversarial Windows Malware

Luca Demetrio, Battista Biggio, Giovanni Lagorio +2

Windows malware detectors based on machine learning are vulnerable to adversarial examples, even if the attacker is only given black-box query access to the model. The main drawbac…

Coinductive subtyping for abstract compilation of object-oriented languages into Horn formulas

Davide Ancona, Giovanni Lagorio

In recent work we have shown how it is possible to define very precise type systems for object-oriented languages by abstractly compiling a program into a Horn formula f. Then type…
