Abstract: In one respect, there is provided a system for training a neural network adapted for classifying one or more scripts. The system may include at least one processor and at least one memory. The memory may include program code which when executed by the at least one memory provides operations including: receiving a disassembled binary file that includes a plurality of instructions; processing the disassembled binary file with a convolutional neural network configured to detect a presence of one or more sequences of instructions amongst the plurality of instructions and determine a classification for the disassembled binary file based at least in part on the presence of the one or more sequences of instructions; and providing, as an output, the classification of the disassembled binary file. Related computer-implemented methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Using a recurrent neural network (RNN) that has been trained to a satisfactory level of performance, highly discriminative features can be extracted by running a sample through the RNN, and then extracting a final hidden state hi, where i is the number of instructions of the sample. This resulting feature vector may then be concatenated with the other hand-engineered features, and a larger classifier may then be trained on hand-engineered as well as automatically determined features. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Data is received or accessed that includes a structured file encapsulating data required by an execution environment to manage executable code wrapped within the structured file. Thereafter, code and data regions are iteratively identified in the structured file. Such identification is analyzed so that at least one feature can be extracted from the structured file. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Described are techniques to enable computers to efficiently determine if they should run a program based on an immediate (i.e., real-time, etc.) analysis of the program. Such an approach leverages highly trained ensemble machine learning algorithms to create a real-time discernment on a combination of static and dynamic features collected from the program, the computer's current environment, and external factors. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A sample of data is placed within a directed graph that comprises a plurality of hierarchical nodes that form a queue of work items for a particular worker class that are used to process the sample of data. Subsequently, work items are scheduled within the queue for each of a plurality of workers by traversing the nodes of the directed graph. The work items are then served to the workers according to the queue. Results can later be received from the workers for the work items (the nodes of the directed graph are traversed based on the received results). In addition, in some variations, the results can be classified so that one or models can be generated. Related systems, methods, and computer program products are also described.
