Malware Executables Detection Using XGBOOST

Abstract

Abstract: Malicious software, called malware, is a big problem for computers. It can steal information, cause financial losses, and more. We came up with a new way to find malware using a smart computer program called XGBoost. XGBoost is good at solving problems with computers. We used it to tell if a computer program is malware or not. We looked at different things about the program, like how it's made and what it does. In our study, we explain how our system works. We talk about how we got the data ready, what things we looked at in the programs, and how we taught the XGBoost program to find malware. Our tests show that our system is good at finding malware. It's accurate and doesn't make many mistakes. This means it can help protect computers from malware. In short, our research helps keep computers safe from bad programs like malware. We use a smart program called XGBoost and look at many things in the program to tell if it's harmful or not. It works well and can be used in real life to stop malware.
