Opcode graph similarity and metamorphic detection
Journal in Computer Virology
(2012)
Abstract
In this paper, we consider a method for computing the similarity of executable files, based on opcode graphs. We apply this technique to the challenging problem of metamorphic malware detection and compare the results to previous work based on hidden Markov models. In addition, we analyze the effect of various morphing techniques on the success of our proposed opcode graph-based detection scheme.
