Document Engineering Issues in Malware Analysis

Published:31 August 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present an overview of the field of malware analysis with emphasis on issues related to document engineering. We will introduce the field with a discussion of the types of malware, including executable binaries, malicious PDFs, polymorphic malware, ransomware, and exploit kits. We will conclude with our view of important research questions in the field. This is an updated version of last year's tutorial, with more information about web-based malware and malware targeting the Android market.
