An automated system and method for analyzing a set of extracted strings from a binary is disclosed including processing the binary with a string-extraction logic that can locate strings within the binary and output an extracted string set for use in cybersecurity analysis. The logic retrieves a set of training data comprising a plurality of previously analyzed extracted string sets where each element of the previously analyzed extracted string set comprises at least one extracted string and a corresponding previously determined threat prediction score. A prediction model based upon the training data is generated and the extracted string set is processed by the prediction model to determine a threat prediction score for each string. Ranking of the located strings is based upon the determined threat prediction score, and an output of a ranked string list is generated.

Systems and methods for automated cybersecurity analysis of extracted binary string sets

A system and method operable to identify malicious software by extracting one or more features disassembled from software suspected to be malicious software and employing one or more of those features in a machine-learning algorithm to classify such software.
