Abstract
Language detection models based on system calls suffer from certain
false negatives and detection blind spots. Hence, the normal behavior sequences of
some malware applications for a short period can become malicious behavior
within a certain time window. To detect such behaviors, we extract a
multidimensional time distribution feature matrix on the basis of statistical analysis.
This matrix mainly includes multidimensional time distribution features,
multidimensional word pair correlation features, and multidimensional word
frequency distribution features. A multidimensional time distribution model based
on neural networks is built to detect the overall abnormal behavior within a given
time window. Experimental evaluation is conducted using the ADFA-LD dataset.
Accuracy, precision, and recall are used as the measurement indicators of the
model. An accuracy rate of 95.26% and a recall rate of 96.11% are achieved.
