Abstract

Traditional machine learning requires complex feature engineering in malware analysis, which is not suitable for large-scale malware analysis. For this reason, this paper used the visualization method to deal with the malware to improve the detection efficiency on Android malware. Thus, this paper proposed an Android malware classification model based on global attention module(GCBAM) which combined depthwise separable convolution(DSC) and attention mechanism. It extracted bytecode files from APK files and converted bytecode files into corresponding grayscale images, and trained image datasets by constructing a classification model based on GCBAM to make the module have Android malware classification capabilities. Experiments show that the model can effectively classify Android malware families. On the obtained 7 630 samples, the classification accuracy rate reaches 98.91%, which is superior to machine learning algorithms in terms of accuracy and recall.
