Description
Summary:This paper proposes a new method of the malicious code classification based on statistical analysis of traces WinAPI calls. We have developed a procedure for programs proximity measurement, taking into account the sequence of WinAPI calls, and the similarity of their arguments. Cluster analysis is used to identify groups programs and classification of the programs.
