Abstract
A method of identifying malicious activity in a sequence of computer instructions includes providing the sequence of computer instructions into a recurrent neural network configured to provide an output based on both the current instruction being input and at least one prior instruction in the sequence, and evaluating the provided sequence of computer instructions in the recurrent neural network at multiple points within the sequence. An output is provided indicating whether the network has determined the code sequence to that point is likely malicious.
