Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for detecting malicious computer code are provided. A dataset may be accessed and converted to a binary dataset according to a predefined conversion algorithm. One or more cycles in the binary dataset may be identified. Statistical analysis may be performed on the identified one or more cycles. A determination that the set of dataset includes malicious software code may be made based on the performed statistical analysis.
