LLMs enhance malware detection by analyzing behavioral reports, outperforming static methods.

Researchers have developed Trident, a new system that enhances malware detection by integrating large language models (LLMs) with behavioral analysis. Unlike traditional methods relying on static features, Trident processes semi-structured sandbox behavior reports using LLMs to generate robust, concept-drift-resistant detection rules. The system combines these LLM-derived rules with a classic decision tree model and direct LLM analysis of sandbox outputs, outperforming existing static-feature and behavior-based approaches. AI

IMPACT Enhances malware detection robustness against concept drift by leveraging LLMs for behavioral analysis.

    Trident: Improving Malware Detection with LLMs and Behavioral Features

    arXiv:2605.00297v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditionally, machine learning methods for PE malware detection have relied on static features like byte histograms, string information, and PE header contents. One barrier to incorporating dynamic analysis features has been the …
