Abstract(in English) Preventive measures are generally important to stop the occurrence of a security incident caused by malware. However, it is common case that unknown malware slip through the preventive measures, because new or variant type of malware are produced on a large scale by attackers. Therefore, second-best way is to correctly detect malware infected-hosts, and to block malicious communication as soon as possible- in fact, the importance of detecting infected terminal strategy is thus increasing. For detecting infected-hosts, it is important to analyze logs taken inside the network to trace malware activity. In this paper, we propose a method of detecting infected hosts using Deep Learning and analyzing HTTP traffic logs. Through our evaluations, we demonstrate the superiority of Deep Learning based approach in comparison to a conventional Logistic Regression based approach. Especially, our evaluation result shows that $rm{TPR_{1%}}$- TPR when threshold is adjusted so that FPR is less than 1%- of our Deep Learning based approach is better in 7 % than Logistic Regression based approach.
