Abstract
Data is analyzed using feature hashing to detect malware. A plurality of features in a feature set is hashed. The feature set is generated from a sample. The sample includes at least a portion of a file. Based on the hashing, one or more hashed features are indexed to generate an index vector. Each hashed feature corresponds to an index in the index vector. Using the index vector, a training dataset is generated. Using the training dataset, a machine learning model for identifying at least one file having a malicious code is trained.
