Abstract
A computer implemented method to identify malicious software in a computer system includes receiving an indication of a detection of malicious network traffic communicated via a computer network accessed by the computer system; identifying a software component involved in the malicious network traffic at the computer system; evaluating a measure of a correlation fractal dimension (CFD) for at least a portion of the software component; and storing the measure of CFD for subsequent comparison with a second measure of CFD for a corresponding portion of a second software component in the computer system to identify the second software component as a software component involved in malicious network communication.
