After 9 years of hunting for malware, the ScumBots project has found and successfully analyzed over 23,000 malware binaries. It has also found over 10,000 binaries that it couldn’t recognize or analyze. So I did what any sane person would do, I trained a machine learning model to try and analyze the 10,000 unknown files. I’ll explain why I did it, how I did it, and what I learned along the way. I’ll also give you the tools to do this for yourself, and also give you the model files trained from ScumBots corpus of known malware.
