Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to classify a sample as clean or malicious. An example apparatus includes instruction identifies circuitry to convert a sample into a sequence of instructions, abstract language circuitry to transform the sequence of instructions into an abstract language representation, transition matrix circuitry to create a Markov transition matrix, the Markov transition matrix to represent transitions within the abstract language representation, and classifier circuitry to classify an unknown sample as clean or malicious, the classification in response to whether the Markov transition matrix is closer to a clean group of Markov transition matrices or a malicious group of Markov transition matrices.
