Mastering Machine Learning for Penetration Testing

Chapter 4 – Malware Detection with Deep Learning

1. What is the difference between MLP networks and deep learning networks?

Deep networks are already multi-layer perceptron networks but with at least three hidden layers.

2. Why DL recently is taking off?

Because we have access to a lot more computational power and data.

3. Why do we need to iterate multiple times through different models?

Because nobody can always find the best model or hyperparameter without iterations.

4. What type of DL needed to translate English to French language?

Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)

5. Why malware visualization is a good method to classify malware?

Because we can use state-of-the-art image recognition to build malware classifiers.

6. What is the role of an activation ...
