Résumé | The detection problem in computer virology is known to be undecidable. Nonetheless, a large body of work is still devoted to the subject. We will present the state of the art on detection schemes: the syntactic and semantic detection schemes.
Subsequently, we will introduce a new hybrid syntactic/semantic detection scheme, where the extraction of the virus signature is performed through abstract interpretation techniques while virus detection is let to efficient syntactic detectors. We will present a new abstract domain that is able to automatically extract the signature of a polymorphic virus as a context free grammar. Preliminary results on some real polymorphic virus samples will also be shown. |
