Last year we were breaking machine learning models for malware detection. We were able to bypass all the models of the competition, finishing in the second position — unfortunately, it was not enough to win an NVIDIA graphic card, but it was worth it anyway, after all, the competition winner Read more…
We are happy to share with you our newest machine learning secret! Scikit-multiflow 0.5 is now available, including our open-source contribution: delayed labels evaluation for supervised learning. We expect that the community makes great use of this new feature, which is very important for cybersecurity solutions. Check out the new Read more…
Last month SECRET started a collaboration with researchers from the University of Waikato, located in Hamilton, New Zealand. The University of Waikato is famous for developing open-source machine learning frameworks, such as Weka, MOA, and scikit-multiflow. The main objective of this collaboration is to develop novel machine learning solutions that Read more…
Here we are again! This time our principal investigator, Andre Grégio, attended the ENIGMA 2020 conference, which took place at San Francisco, CA, USA. This was our second time at the conference, last year two of our PhD students were awarded (diversity grant). The goal of ENIGMA is to clearly Read more…
Applying machine learning techniques to cyber security has become popular nowadays. The majority of existing work aim to produce results that achieve accuracy, f1 score and precision rates close to 100%, without taking into account problems such as adversarial samples. In our work, “Shallow Security: on the Creation of Adversarial Read more…
Marcus’ RevEngE against malware! This week SECRET arrived in Vienna to participate of the Reversing and Offensive-oriented Trends Symposium 2019 (ROOTS). Marcus discussed challenges and pitfalls of decompiling malicious samples and presented RevEnge, the Reverse Engineering Engine. RevEngE is a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) tool to the debug-oriented decompilation approached that we Read more…
Brazil hosted the 4th BRICS Young Scientist Forum, which main themes were cybersecurity and bioeconomy and took place in Rio de Janeiro from November 6th to November 8th, 2019. André Grégio attended the event and was able to share our SECRETs with the community, presenting some of our ongoing works!
Tamy Beppler, a SECRET researcher, has been presenting her research in the 2019 Information Security Conference. Tamy investigated the use of file textutres for malware families’ classification. Interested in taking a look on her results? Check this link.
An Internet company has been promoting a competition that challenges researchers to bypass machine learning models for malware detection. SECRET has been participating this challenge and our members (Fabrício Ceschin and Marcus Botacin) were able to bypass all models! Want to know more about how to code a binary that Read more…
Another SECRET course! Marcus Botacin presented how to reverse engineer Linux ELF binaries at SBSEG 2019. Check course materials on the github.
