Abstract

See full text

Under one aspect, a method is provided for protecting a device from a malicious file. The method can be implemented by one or more data processors forming part of at least one computing device and can include extracting from the file, by at least one data processor, sequential data comprising discrete tokens. The method also can include generating, by at least one data processor, n-grams of the discrete tokens. The method also can include generating, by at least one data processor, a vector of weights based on respective frequencies of the n-grams. The method also can include determining, by at least one data processor and based on a statistical analysis of the vector of weights, that the file is likely to be malicious. The method also can include initiating, by at least one data processor and responsive to determining that the file is likely to be malicious, a corrective action.
