AI in Malware Forensics: Identifying and Understanding Malicious Code
Malware is becoming more complex, often hiding its behavior using encryption, obfuscation, and polymorphism. AI-driven malware forensics helps investigators analyze and classify malicious software faster and more accurately. Automated Malware Classification AI sorts malware into families by recognizing code patterns, behaviors, and signatures—even when attackers modify the code. Behavioral Analysis Machine learning observes how malware interacts with files, memory, and networks, revealing hidden intentions such as data theft or system takeover. Zero-Day Malware Detection AI identifies previously unknown malware by spotting unusual behavior rather than relying on existing signatures. Code De-obfuscation Support AI helps reverse-engineers decipher encrypted or obfuscated code segments, speeding up manual analysis. Threat Attribution AI compares malware traits with known attacker TTPs (tactics, techniques, procedures) to suggest likely threat actors. 🔹 Bottom Line:...
