Visualization techniques for efficient malware detection

Traditional tools for reverse engineering of binary and PE files are limited to heavy text base output, thus requiring skilled analysts to use them. In this paper, we present techniques that will visualize PE files, which will help analysts with basic skills to quickly understand their underlying structure. We also present Markov Byte Plot-based techniques to identify packed malware and discuss how our techniques can aid cybersecurity community for better enumeration of malicious software.
