Artificial intelligence-driven malware detection framework for internet of things environment

ABSTRACT: The Internet of Things (IoT) environment demands a malware detection (MD) framework for protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access. The study intends to develop an image-based MD framework. The authors apply image conversion and enhancement techniques to convert malware binaries into RGB images. You only look once (Yolo V7) is employed for extracting the key features from the malware images. Harris Hawks optimization is used to optimize the DenseNet161 model to classify images into malware and benign. IoT malware and Virusshare datasets are utilized to evaluate the proposed framework’s performance. The outcome reveals that the proposed framework outperforms the current MD framework. The framework generates the outcome at an accuracy and F1-score of 98.65 and 98.5 and 97.3 and 96.63
