Effectiveness of the Static Analysis using PE files for Malware Detection

Abstract

Computer malware is very widespread problem. It is one of the most serious threats on the computer system. Effectiveness of the static analysis for malware detection and its significance has been portrayed throughout in this paper. The presented study has developed an effective analysis on the malware detection using static analysis, dynamic analysis and hybrid analysis. Moreover, a survey table has been provided in the study where the identified malware attacks and the benign as well as their accuracy rates have been mentioned. It includes study of various techniques like N-gram analysis, opcode analysis, Byte sequencing and PE analysis. The survey table has quickly attracted the eye of researcher within the subject of the malware and benign identification. The study has developed a comparison between the techniques aligned with tables and structures for detecting the malware attacks and best method has been suggested.
