Abstract
In the realm of cybersecurity, the detection of malware in executable files represents a pressing challenge. Conventional signature-based methods often struggle to keep pace with evolving threats, necessitating innovative solutions. This research investigates the application of advanced machine learning techniques, specifically Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM) architectures, augmented by word embedding methodologies, for robust malware detection. The research initiates with a systematic investigation of fundamental machine learning principles and rigorous data processing methodologies, forming a robust foundation for subsequent phases. Leveraging this acquired knowledge, the study embarks on the creation and refinement of a specialized deep learning model intricately designed for the accurate detection of concealed malware within executable files.
Every aspect of model construction receives meticulous attention, encompassing data collection, preprocessing, rigorous experimentation, and the fine-tuning of hyperparameters through hyperparameter optimization (HPO)
