Introduction To Malware Detection

Malware detection involves identifying malicious software that can harm systems or steal data. Various methods are used, including signature-based detection that matches known malware patterns, and behavior-based detection that monitors for suspicious activity. Image analysis is also important for malware detection, such as identifying concealed malware within image files and detecting steganography. Challenges include malware being meticulously concealed and use of encryption, but case studies demonstrate successful identification and removal of image-borne malware.
