LLMs leverage code analysis for improved malware attribution

Researchers have developed LCC-LLM, a framework and dataset designed to improve malware attribution using large language models. The system leverages code-centric representations, including decompiled C code and assembly, to provide deeper analysis than previous methods. LCC-LLM integrates a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline with cybersecurity knowledge to enhance factual reliability and analyst decision support, showing promising results in structured report generation and malware classification. AI

IMPACT Enhances LLM capabilities for cybersecurity, potentially improving threat intelligence and incident response.

    LCC-LLM: Leveraging Code-Centric Large Language Models for Malware Attribution

    arXiv:2605.05807v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs are increasingly explored for malware analysis; however, current LLM-based malware attribution remains limited by unsupported indicators and insufficient code-level grounding for identifying malicious and vulnerable code segm…
