From July 2019 to May 2020, I worked with Dr. Abhishek Tripathi as an intern at McAfee. This was my second project there and also resulted in a patent application. This project aimed to develop a malware detection model for partially downloaded binary files.

Inspiration

This work was inspired by the research paper titled “Malware Images: Visualisation and Automatic Classification” by L. Nataraj et. al. The work developed an image based classifier to classify 25 different families of malware.

Our Work

Our work developed on this paper and extended it to detect malware from partially downloaded binary files as well.

This work has resulted in me being named inventor on a pending patent application (not yet published). This website will be updated when the application gets published.
