AMD-FCG: An Enhanced Function Call Graph Dataset with Integrated Topological Features for Malware Detection and Classification

arXiv:2606.06815v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As malware illustrates a complex structure and behavior, detection of these has been a significant challenge in the domain of cybersecurity along with related services in daily life. So, it becomes crucial to have a reliable and adaptive solution to address the issue. Among the several detection methods developed over the years, one of the most reliable ones is studying and analyzing the structural and behavioral patterns of malware. These patterns of sophisticated malware can be obtained with the help of Function Call Graphs (FCGs). However, to effectively cover numerous groups of families of malware, it is required to have a sufficiently large dataset for the system to operate on. In order to ensure accuracy and robustness of the system, the dataset should comprise samples of different malwares and a benign application for secure execution of the detection process. This paper introduces AMD-FCG, an enhanced Function Call Graph dataset integrated with topological features of malwares. The framework enhances the detection procedure, streamlining the workflow for cybersecurity professionals and also eliminating the need for dynamic analysis and extensive processing. Therefore, it can be used to develop and deploy more efficient and innovative malware detection systems.
