Hello, I am loking for project that implement Neural Networks and spectrum analysis to detect polymorphic shellcodes such as those of ADMutate.
This seems like a bad case of "pushing a technique onto a problem" or better "buzzword fascination problem". Spectral analysis is useful on continuous variables. How would you represent "a shellcode" as a continuous variable or multivariate series of continuos variables ? Neural networks themselves are more useful on metric variables than on qualitative variables. And here again: on what metrics and features would you train them ?
