Aruta, John A.; Schembari, N. Paul – Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice, 2020
We describe the results of a master's thesis in malware detection and discuss the connection to the learning goals of the project. As part of the thesis, we studied obfuscation of malware, conversion of files into images, image processing, and machine learning, a process of benefit to both the student and faculty. Malware detection becomes…
