HiGraph dataset released for advanced malware analysis

Researchers have introduced HiGraph, a large-scale hierarchical graph dataset designed for malware analysis. This dataset includes over 200 million Control Flow Graphs nested within 595,000 Function Call Graphs, aiming to capture the structural semantics crucial for developing robust malware detectors. The creators demonstrated HiGraph's effectiveness by revealing distinct structural properties between benign and malicious software, establishing it as a new benchmark for the field. AI

IMPACT Provides a foundational benchmark for developing more resilient malware detection systems.

    HiGraph: A Large-Scale Hierarchical Graph Dataset for Malware Analysis

    arXiv:2509.02113v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The advancement of graph-based malware analysis is critically limited by the absence of large-scale datasets that capture the inherent hierarchical structure of software. Existing methods often oversimplify programs into s…
