Abstract(in English) In recent years, many researches on detection and classification of malware have been done. Among them, researches on techniques for detecting unknown malware using machine learning have been actively conducted, not in particular recently, as a method relied on traditional signatures. Many of these researches are common in that they are aimed at extracting and learning features from malware in general and aiming at improving detection accuracy. However, malware operates in a wide variety of ways. Thereby extracting common features from malware in general, features may be unclear. Therefore, in this research, we extract features from each category of malware rather than extracting features from malware in general, and machine learning based on these features, thereby detecting malware with higher accuracy than before consider the method.
