Due to the existence of malware samples in large amount of data malware detection techniques are introduced. Machine learning techniques are being applied to classify the applications focusing malware detection. Android has impressive growth in the domain of smart phones. Hence to overcome its better to group malware samples with structural similarities. Clustering technique in Android applications is an important technique in machine learning and gives automatic classi cation of applications by categorizing malware. Clustering keeps similar applications in one cluster and it gives good results with information retrieval. Following steps can be included in the process of applications clustering: 1. Android Manifest le speci es the permissions needed by the application. These les ask for permission to access restricted elements like hardware devices and contacts of the Android operating system. To cluster the malware behavior clustering algorithms such as hierarchical and partitioning-based clustering like K-Means or K-Medoids are used. Various clustering algorithms are discussed be...
The input of algorithm is Data points with n features and the number of clusters given by K. Initially K centroids are assigned randomly. The points in the dataset are assigned to a cluster based on Euclidean distance.
Imagine this; you are sitting at your desk looking at a bunch of pictures. Just a normal scene, what could go wrong? Suddenly, you’re attacked by deadly things that are trying to steal your personal information like your credit card numbers, email address, all your passwords, everything. Could this be the work of ninjas? No (bet that is what you first thought though). What about the FBI? No. Then what was it? It was a virus. If you hadn’t figured it out by now, you were looking at pictures online using Google images (for all you Bing fans, I’m sorry but Google is much better). You were downloading pictures from Google and one of them happened to contain a virus and it was downloaded with one of the pictures. How do I know this is a virus? The answer is that I don’t. I didn’t give enough symptoms to diagnose this. To the pros at hacking and security, you may know that viruses are not the only threat. If you are new to the world of computers, you might not. The three types of malware that will try to harm your PC or your data in any way are Trojans, worms, and the most famous, viruses. These three are very different and all are terrible for you and your PC.
Clustering This is un-supervised learning method. Text documents here are unlabelled and inherent patterns in text are revealed through cluster formation. This can also be used as prior step for other text mining methods.
At the Aim Higher College there have been recently discovered malware on the campus systems that are due to many recent attacks. I used an Anti-virus protection software called AVG on the computer systems on campus and ran a whole computer scan. The results came back very quick of numbers of malware being high and medium priorities that these should not be taken lightly. Furthermore, the scan found many viruses, Trojans, and malicious software and applications.
Abstract:- This paper presents a brief idea about data mining, data mining technology, and big data. The applications regarding data mining will also be discussed briefly. The main cause of data mining is to get different ideas, how to access big data by different tools.
Data mining is the technique to interpret the data from other perspective and summarize the data so that the data can be useful information. Technically, data mining is a process to identify relations or patterns in the databases to predict the likelihood of future events. According to Eliason et al, there are three systems for healthcare organization to implement the mining data systems. The three systems are the analytics system, the content system and the deployment system. The analytics system is a system that used to collect all data such as patients clinical data, patients financial data, patients satisfactory data and other data. The content system is used to store all medical evidenced data. The deployment system is used to make new organization structure. There are several elements that consist in data mining which are first extract, transform and load transaction data onto the data warehouse system, second, store and manage the data in a multidimensional system, third, provide data access to information technology professionals, forth, analyze the data by application software and lastly, present the data in graph or table format.
Spyware is all around us; relentlessly trying to ruin our private lives. My security essay is going to be on Spyware and how Avast tracked down an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT); aka, Tempting Cedar Spyware which was disguised as a Kik Messenger app.
ways, perhaps the best thing to do is more a form of damage control rather than
The Target breach which is said to be the second-largest retail cyber-attack in history wasn’t necessarily inventive, nor did it appear destined for success, yet hackers were able to access roughly 40 million customers personal information by installing a malware into Target’s security system.1 In the days leading up to Thanksgiving 2013 the hackers installed malware in Target’s security and payments system which was designed to steal every credit card used in store at over 1,797 U.S. locations. The data breach initially disclosed in December which exposed around 40 million customer’s names, card numbers, card expiration dates, card security codes and debit card pins were recorded for the hackers to see, although the pins were encrypted. After a later review Target disclosed additional information which later was said to be that roughly 70 million more consumers had their names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses exposed.2
Cyber attacks are becoming more and more popular lately as they are cheap, convenient and less risky than physical attacks. All it takes is a computer, internet connection, and time. These “Cybercrooks” are hard to find seeing as they can be anywhere in the world and the anonymity of the Internet makes them unreachable. Vulnerable components in IT Infrastructure are the software, hardware, and network. In order for any type of malware to work it needs to get through all these walls (Jang-Jaccard).
Clustering algorithms are used to discover structures and groups in the data, e.g. it classifies the data belongs to which group
“ Prevention is better than cure ”, if computer users are aware of Malware attacks, they may prevent those attacks . So, in this research paper i am going to focus on Malware and Protecting Against Malware.
Malicious code, also known as malware, installed on a computer provides an attacker with the control over this machine. Therefore, malware can be defined as “a set of instructions that run on your computer and make your system do something that an attacker wants to do”. It is more common to see malicious code to be implemented in binary executable files. However, it can be implemented in almost any computer language. Attackers have used a huge number of scripting languages, word processing macro languages and a h...
What is the “MALWARE”? A malware refers to software programs designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on a computer system. In Spanish, "mal" is a prefix that means "bad," making the term "bad ware" .Malware includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. Viruses, for example, can cause havoc on a computer's hard drive by deleting files or directory information. Spyware can gather data from a user's system without the user knowing it. This can include anything from the Web pages a user visits to personal information, such as credit card numbers.
Mobile application is a very aggressive market, there are hundreds of platforms to choose from when designing applications. There are several platforms that currently dominate over other platforms. The Android platform is very popular, it’s one of the most preferred platforms for building applications. Most of its applications are built using JAVA software, but there are others software that are just as equal or greater. Java software is free and offer a free software development kit. The kit consists of sample applications, source codes, developer tools, and emulators...
