Mastering Machine Learning for Penetration Testing

Summary

Malware is a nightmare for every modern organization. Attackers and cyber criminals are always coming up with new malicious software to attack their targets. Security vendors are doing their best to defend against malware attacks but, unfortunately, with millions of malwares discovered monthly, they cannot achieve that. Thus, novel approaches are needed, which are exactly what we looked at in this and the previous chapter. We discovered how to build malware detectors using different machine learning algorithms, especially using the power of deep learning techniques. In the next chapter, we will learn how to detect botnets by building and developing robust intelligent systems.
