The Laboratory for Physical Sciences is a DOD lab performing research in quantum computing, novel computer architectures, high performance computing, brain-inspired systems for learning, and application of machine learning to cybersecurity problems. This talk will provide an overview of ongoing research efforts at the lab, and then will drill down into work applying machine learning and other techniques to the task of malware analysis. This includes development of classifiers to determine if a given file is malware, generation of features through static analysis, disassembly, decompilation and dynamic analysis, aides to the human malware reverse engineer, and automated signature generation for family identification.
