Malware Detection in Portable Document Format (PDF) Files with Byte Frequency Distribution (BFD) and Support Vector Machine (SVM)

Cyber-attacks are growing day by day and attackers are finding new techniques to cause harm to their target by spreading worms and malware. In the world of innovations and new technologies coming out every day, it creates a possibility of attacking a system and exploiting the vulnerabilities present in the system. One of the methods used for the spread of malware is the Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Due to the flexible nature of these files, it is becoming a sweet spot for the attackers to embed the malware easily into the PDF files. In this report, we are going to understand this flexibility provided by the PDF development and why the bad actors find it easy to embed viruses or malware into the PDF files. We will then look at how we can develop methods and techniques using python script to identify the malicious files and stop it from harming the systems in your network.

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), language identification is the problem of determining which natural language(s) are used in written script. This paper presents a methodology for Language Identification from multilingual document written in Indian language(s). The main objective of this research is to automatically, quickly, and accurately recognize the language from the multilingual document written in Indian language(s) and then separate the content according to types of language, using Unicode Transformation Format (UTF). The proposed methodology is applicable for preprocessing step in document classification and a number of applications such as POS-Tagging, Information Retrieval, Search Engine Optimization, and Machine Translation for Indian languages. Sixteen different Indian languages have been used for empirical purpose. The corpus texts were collected randomly from web and 822 documents were prepared, comprising of 300 Portable Document Format (PDF) files and 522 text files. Each of 822 documents contained more than 800 words written in different and multiple Indian languages at the sentence level. The proposed methodology has been implemented using UTF-8 through free and open-source programming language Java Server Pages (JSP). The obtained results with an execution of 522 Text file documents yielded an accuracy of 99.98 %, whereas 300 PDF documents yielded an accuracy of 99.28 %. The accuracy of text files is more than PDF files by 0.70 %, due to corrupted texts appearing in PDF files.

According to statistics from the Global Burden of Cancer Study (Globocon) of the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer, particularly breast cancer, is a severe health issue in Indonesia with 68,858 new cases and 22,000 deaths recorded in 2020. Ultrasonography (USG) technology is acknowledged as one of the potentials to support early detection, which is vital in reducing mortality from breast cancer. This study focuses on classifying ultrasound images using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, GLCM feature extraction, Min-Max normalization, and Mutual Information with SelectKBest Feature Selection.

The main problem in producing high accuracy software defect prediction is if the data set has an imbalance class and dichotomous characteristics. The imbalanced class problem can be solved using a data level approach, such as resampling methods. While the problem of software defects predicting if the data set has dichotomous characteristics can be approached using the classification method. This study aimed to analyze the performance of the proposed software defect prediction method to identify the best combination of resampling methods with the appropriate classification method to provide the highest accuracy. The combination of the proposed methods first is the resampling process using oversampling, under-sampling, or hybrid methods. The second process uses the classification method, namely the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm and the Logistic Regression (LR) algorithm. The proposed, tested model uses five NASA MDP data sets with the same number attributes of 37. Based on the t-test, the < = 0.0344 < 0.05 and the > = 3.1524 > 2.7765 which indicates that the combination of the proposed methods is suitable for classifying imbalanced class. The performance of the classification algorithm has also improved with the use of the resampling process. The average increase in AUC values using the resampling in the SVM algorithm is 17.19%, and the LR algorithm is at 7.26% compared to without the resampling process. Combining the three resampling methods with the SVM algorithm and the LR algorithm shows that the best combining method is the oversampling method with the SVM algorithm to software defects prediction in imbalanced class with an average accuracy value of 84.02% and AUC 91.65%.

Fusion of diverse data sources for flood extent mapping and risk assessment in Sindh: A comparative study of inundation mapping approaches

Here, a brain tumor classification method using the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm by utilizing discrete wavelet transform (DWT) transformation and feature extraction of gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and local binary pattern (LBP) has been implemented using the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image belong to the low-grade glioma (LGG) or high-grade glioma (HGG) group. SVM algorithm used as a classification method has been widely used in research that raises the topic of classification. Through the formation of a hyperplane between 2 data classes, the SVM algorithm can be said to be a reliable method but does not require complicated computations. The DWT transformation is intended to provide clearer feature details from the MRI image, so that when the feature extraction algorithm is applied, it is expected that the extracted features will differ between benign tumor MRI images and malignant tumor MRI images. In 1 level DWT using high-low (HL) sub-band yield the highest specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy than using 3 levels using HL or low-high (LH) sub-band in LGG MRI image.Compared with another research, our proposed method is slightly better in terms of accuracy to classify the brain tumor image with achieved the accuracy of 98.6486%.

Government policy regarding the discourse on the use of renewable energy in electricity, this discourse is widely discussed in the community, especially on social media twitter. The public's response to the implementation of the use of renewable energy varies, there are positive, negative and neutral responses to this government policy. Sentiment analysis is part of Machine Learning which aims to identify responses in the form of text. The data used in this study amounted to 1,367 tweets. The purpose of this study is to determine the sentiment analysis of government discourse related to the use of renewable energy using an optimisation-based Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm approach. This research involves several stages including data collection, data pre-processing, experiments and modelling and evaluation. The data is divided into 3 classes, 120 positive, 1221 neutral and 26 negative. In this research, there are five optimisation models used namely Forward Selection, Backward Elimination, Optimised Selection, Bagging and AdaBoost. The results obtained are the use of Optimised Selection (OS) optimisation with the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm obtained an increase in accuracy from 93% to 96%. The increase in the use of SVM using selection optimization obtained the highest increase, because other optimization techniques only reached 1% and 2% of the original results using the SVM algorithm, namely the accuracy value of 93% to 96% (high accuracy). From the research that has been done, it is certainly important to understand public sentiment towards renewable energy policies, especially renewable energy electricity, the hope is that this research will become a reference for the government.

For a commodity, in addition to its quality, its external package is also very essential. This paper briefly introduced the intelligent support vector machine (SVM) algorithm for color design of paper packaging. The features were extracted from photos of packages using scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT), and the intelligent algorithm was trained and tested using photos of paper packaging for ceramic products collected at the ceramic crafts market as a sample set. Two paper package schemes designed in this study were used for further test. The SVM algorithm was compared with the back-propagation (BP) algorithm and the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm. The results showed that the three intelligent algorithms could evaluate the color design of paper packages, but the SVM algorithm was more accurate than the BP and CNN algorithms in evaluating the imagery of color design, both for the samples collected in the craft market and for the paper packaging scheme designed in this paper.

To analyze the effect of macular choroidal thickness (MCT) and peripapillary choroidal thickness (PPCT) on the classification of obese and healthy children by comparing the performance of the random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and multilayer perceptrons (MLP) algorithms. Fifty-nine obese children and 35 healthy children aged 6 to 15 years were studied in this prospective comparative study using optical coherence tomography. MCT and PPCT were measured at distances of 500 μm, 1,000 μm, and 1,500 μm from the fovea and optic disc. Three different feature selection algorithms were used to determine the most prominent features of all extracted features. The classification efficiency of the extracted features was analyzed using the RF, SVM, and MLP algorithms, demonstrating their efficacy for distinguishing obese from healthy children. The precision and reliability of measurements were assessed using kappa analysis. The correlation feature selection algorithm produced the most successful classification results among the different feature selection methods. The most prominent features for distinguishing the obese and healthy groups from each other were PPCT temporal 500 μm, PPCT temporal 1,500 μm, PPCT nasal 1,500 μm, PPCT inferior 1,500 μm, and subfoveal MCT. The classification rates for the RF, SVM, and MLP algorithms were 98.6%, 96.8%, and 89%, respectively. Obesity has an effect on the choroidal thicknesses of children, particularly in the subfoveal region and the outer semi-circle at 1,500 μm from the optic disc head. Both the RF and SVM algorithms are effective and accurate at classifying obese and healthy children.

Experimental science is replete with multi-dimensional information which is often poorly represented by the two dimensions of presentation slides and print media. Past efforts to disseminate such information to a wider audience have failed for a number of reasons, including a lack of standards which are easy to implement and have broad support. Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) has in recent years become the de facto standard for secure, dependable electronic information exchange. It has done so by creating an open format, providing support for multiple platforms and being reliable and extensible. By providing support for the ECMA standard Universal 3D (U3D) and the ISO PRC file format in its free Adobe Reader software, Adobe has made it easy to distribute and interact with 3D content. Until recently, Adobe's Acrobat software was also capable of incorporating 3D content into PDF files from a variety of 3D file formats, including proprietary CAD formats. However, this functionality is no longer available in Acrobat X, having been spun off to a separate company. Incorporating 3D content now requires the additional purchase of a separate plug-in. In this talk we present alternatives based on open source libraries which allow the programmatic creation of 3D content in PDF format. While not providing the same level of access to CAD files as the commercial software, it does provide physicists with an alternative path to incorporate 3D content into PDF files from such disparate applications as detector geometries from Geant4, 3D data sets, mathematical surfaces or tesselated volumes.
