Description

ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for comparing malware or other types of computer programs, and for optionally using such a comparison method for (a) searching for matching programs in a collection of programs, (b) classifying programs, and (c) constructing a classification or a partitioning within a collection of programs. In general, there are three steps to the comparison portion: selecting and extracting tokens from a pair of programs for comparison, building features from these tokens, and comparing the programs based on the frequency of feature occurrences to produce a similarity measure. Pairwise similarity is then used for optionally searching, classifying, or constructing classification systems.
