Intra-Section Code Cave Injection for Adversarial Evasion Attacks on Windows PE Malware File

arXiv:2403.06428v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Windows malware is predominantly available in cyberspace and is a prime target for deliberate adversarial evasion attacks. Although researchers have investigated the adversarial malware attack problem, a multitude of important questions remain unanswered, including (a) Are the existing techniques to inject adversarial perturbations in Windows Portable Executable (PE) malware files effective enough for evasion purposes?; (b) Does the attack process preserve the original behavior of malware?; (c) Are there unexplored approaches/locations that can be used …
