**Automated Malware Classification using LSTM and Naive Baye

Automated Malware Classification using LSTM and Naive Bayes

Malware classification is a critical task in cybersecurity, aiming to identify and categorize malicious software into different types. Traditional approaches rely on manual analysis, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often ineffective. To address this challenge, we can leverage machine learning (ML) techniques, specifically integrating Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Naive Bayes algorithms. In this post, we will explore how to automate malware classification using these powerful tools.

Dataset and Preprocessing

To build a robust classifier, we need a comprehensive dataset containing features extracted from malware samples. Popular features include:

  1. Static features (e.g., API calls, system calls, registry keys)
  2. Dynamic features (e.g., execution flow, API call sequences)
  3. Behavioral features (e.g., network activity, file access)

We'll use the scikit-learn library to preprocess our dataset....
