The representation is optimized for effective and efficient analysis of behavior using data mining and machine learning techniques. It can be obtained automatically during analysis of malware with a behavior monitoring tool or by converting existing behavior reports. The representation is not restricted to a particular monitoring tool and thus can also be used as a meta language to unify behavior reports of different sources.enA malware instruction set for behavior-based analysisText/Conference Paper1617-5468
