摘要 由於惡意程式對我們的生活及電子裝置帶來許多危害,因此我們迫切的想了解惡意程式的行為及他們可能造成的危害。惡意程式所產生的紀錄檔大多是帶有時間戳記的不定長度文字型資料,像是事件紀錄檔或是動態分析紀錄檔。我們可以利用時間戳記將紀錄檔排序成序列型資料以利後續分析。然而,要處理這種可變長度的文字型序列資料是非常困難的。除此之外,在資訊安全領域中大多數的序列型資料都有特殊的屬性或是結構,例如:迴圈、重複調用及雜訊等自然語言中不會有的特性與結構。為了深入分析應用程式介面(API)調用序列及結構,本研究使用圖(如馬可夫模型)來深究隱含在序列中的資訊與結構。因此本研究設計並實作了注意力感知圖神經網路(AWGCN)來分析應用程式介面調用序列。透過注意力感知圖神經網路的訓練,我們可以得到序列嵌入用以分析惡意程式之行為。此外,在調用類型資料集的家族分類實驗中,注意力感知圖神經網路的準確度優於其他分類器,且序列嵌入也能增進經典模型的表現。
Malicious software (malware) causes much harm to our devices and life. We are eager to understand the malware behavior and the threat it made. Most of the record files of malware are variable length and text-based files with time stamps, such as event log data and dynamic analysis profiles. Using the time stamps, we can sort such data into sequence-based data for the following analysis. However, dealing with the text-based sequences with variable lengths is difficult. In addition, unlike natural language text data, most sequential data in information security have specific properties and structure, such as loop, repeated call, noise, etc. To deeply analyze the API call sequences with their structure, we use graphs to represent the sequences, which can further investigate the information and structure, such as the Markov model. Therefore, we design and implement an Attention Aware Graph Neural Network (AWGCN) to analyze the API call sequences. Through AWGCN, we can obtain the sequence embeddings to analyze the behavior of the malware. Moreover, the classification experiment result shows that AWGCN outperforms other classifiers in the call-like datasets, and the embedding can further improve the classic model’s performance.
