Old Things Are New Again - Efficient Automatic Signature Generation for Malware Detection

Explore efficient automatic signature generation techniques for malware detection in this 31-minute conference talk from BSidesLV 2019. Delve into the intersection of machine learning and malware analysis, focusing on the concept of engrams and their application in creating effective signatures. Learn about the simulation process, data sets used, and the algorithm behind registry key signatures. Gain insights into how traditional methods are being reinvented to combat modern malware threats, with a particular emphasis on the "kilograms" approach to signature generation.
