Catch me if you can: Building a Web Malware Analyzer using Machine Learning
Anirban Banerjee at AppSec USA 2014
With close to 10,000 new, legitimate websites being added to the Google malware blacklist every day, its clear that infecting websites to spread malware has become the go-to choice for malicious hackers. In this talk I will focus on how the problem is evolving, how websites are getting infected and what gets injected into websites. I will also focus on how to use machine learning to quickly build a system that can scale far beyond what AV engines can catch.
This talk will show a live demo and will be a mix of powerpoint slides that educate, inform and enable the audience to understand web malware trends and set up mechanisms to catch non obvious pieces of web malware.
