ClarAVy Tool Enhances Malware Family Labeling Accuracy
/ 1 min read
🦠 ClarAVy revolutionizes malware family labeling with enhanced accuracy and scalability. The new tool, developed to improve the identification of malware families, addresses significant shortcomings in existing automated labeling systems, such as incorrect parsing of antivirus detections and errors in family alias resolution. Utilizing a Variational Bayesian approach, ClarAVy effectively aggregates data from multiple antivirus products, achieving higher accuracy rates—8 and 12 percentage points better than previous leading tools on the MOTIF and MalPedia datasets, respectively. The tool’s capability to process approximately 40 million malicious files demonstrates its scalability, making it a valuable asset for cyberattack investigation and remediation efforts.
