Elastic Malware Benchmark for Empowering Researchers

Ember2024

EMBER2024 is an updated malware dataset designed for researchers to explore a variety of classification tasks, including malicious/benign detection, malware family classification, and behavior prediction. It provides raw features and multiple label types for 3.2 million files, enabling holistic evaluation of machine learning models in cybersecurity. ## Key Features - **Multi-File Type Support** — Includes Win32, Win64, .NET, APK, ELF, and PDF files for cross-platform analysis. - **Temporal Split** — Training and test sets are separated by time to simulate detection of newer malware. - **Challenge Set** — Contains 6,315 evasive malicious files initially undetected by antivirus products. - **Feature Version 3** — Re-implemented feature vector format using the stable pefile library, with additions like DOS header and Authenticode signature features. - **Extended Labels** — Seven types of labels and tags support diverse classification tasks beyond simple detection. - **Capa Integration** — Includes malware behavior analysis results (ATT&CK techniques, MBC behaviors) for Win32, Win64, .NET, and ELF files. ## Philosophy EMBER2024 aims to provide a comprehensive, realistic benchmark that reflects the evolving malware landscape, enabling robust evaluation of classifier performance on novel and evasive threats.
