Pre-filters in-transit malware packets detection in the network

Many challenges have appeared, one of these challenges is to prevent the spread of malware through the Internet, which is frequently enhanced over the years. [...]accurate and efficient detection systems became an absolute need to recognize the malware assisted attacks that occur in the network and computer system. According to Symantec report in 2016, malware that spread currently in the networks is highly mutated and continuously updating them in order to avoid conventional detection systems [1]. The second group enclosed to 911 files which are generated using NGVCK kit [36] and VX Heavens website and used the same configuration setting where the total number of metamorphic files is 1020. Since the proposed method need as much as possible malware packets therefore, the captured traffic traces are obtained from the academic network and student network and it captured for one week. [...]part, the results of the proposed packet-level malware detection are compared with that of [12, 13] to measure the speedup of the proposed technique as compared to the case when all packets are subjected to ML classification.
