Analysis of Contagion Dynamics with Active Cyber Defenders
Keith Paarporn, Shouhuai Xu
In this paper, we analyze the infection spreading dynamics of malware in a population of cyber nodes (i.e., computers or devices). Unlike most prior studies where nodes are reactiv…
PAD: Towards Principled Adversarial Malware Detection Against Evasion Attacks
Deqiang Li, Shicheng Cui, Yun Li +3
Machine Learning (ML) techniques can facilitate the automation of malicious software (malware for short) detection, but suffer from evasion attacks. Many studies counter such attac…
A Coupling Approach to Analyzing Games with Dynamic Environments
Brandon C. Collins, Shouhuai Xu, Philip N. Brown
The theory of learning in games has extensively studied situations where agents respond dynamically to each other by optimizing a fixed utility function. However, in real situation…
Quantifying Cybersecurity Effectiveness of Dynamic Network Diversity
Huashan Chen, Hasan Cam, Shouhuai Xu
The deployment of monoculture software stacks can have devastating consequences because a single attack can compromise all of the vulnerable computers in cyberspace. This one-vulne…
VulDeePecker: A Deep Learning-Based System for Multiclass Vulnerability Detection
Deqing Zou, Sujuan Wang, Shouhuai Xu +2
Fine-grained software vulnerability detection is an important and challenging problem. Ideally, a detection system (or detector) not only should be able to detect whether or not a…
An Evasion and Counter-Evasion Study in Malicious Websites Detection
Li Xu, Zhenxin Zhan, Shouhuai Xu +1
Malicious websites are a major cyber attack vector, and effective detection of them is an important cyber defense task. The main defense paradigm in this regard is that the defende…
