Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for training malware classifiers may include (1) perturbing, at a computing device, a binary file in a manner that maintains functionality of the binary file, (2) classifying the perturbed binary file with a first machine learning classifier to produce a classification result, (3) producing a transformed file by repeating the perturbing and classifying steps until the transformed file becomes misclassified, and (4) performing a security action comprising training a second machine learning classifier with the transformed file and an associated correct classification result. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
