Mastering Machine Learning for Penetration Testing

Bypassing Machine Learning Malware Detectors

In the previous chapter, you learned that you can break into machine learning models and make them perform malicious activities by using adversarial machine learning techniques. In this chapter, we are going to explore further techniques, like how to fool artificial neural networks and deep learning networks. We are going to look at anti-malware system evasion as a case study.

In this chapter, we will cover the following:

• Adversarial deep learning
• How to bypass next generation malware detectors with generative adversarial networks
• Bypassing machine learning with reinforcement learning
