Abstract
Herein disclosed is a method for automatically extracting signatures for malware. The method takes advantage of a fundamental economic requirement of malware authors: they must reuse code to manage the time investment. The method disclosed finds shared code between malware and generates signatures from the code. A method is also disclosed for separating code that is found predominantly, if not exceptionally, in malware from code that may be found in benign program.
