TL;DR: An overview of convolutional neural network-based static malware analysis techniques acknowledges the recent trend of conceptualizing malware as a sequential structure with both local and long-term dependencies, the need to reconsider the notion of dataset balance, and the need for consistent and transparent application of the F1-score.
: This paper provides an overview of convolutional neural network-based static malware analysis techniques. Three research questions are considered: Which architectures based on or related to CNNs are used in static malware analysis? Which datasets are used to support research in this field, and what are the associated challenges? To what extent are the obtained models evaluated? Three scientific databases (Scopus, Web of Science, and MDPI) are searched, and the PRISMA framework is used to conduct and transparently present 70 papers selected according to dedicated inclusion and exclusion criteria. The overview recognizes the recent trend of conceptualizing malware as a sequential structure with both local and long-term dependencies, the need to reconsider the notion of dataset balance, and the need for consistent and transparent application of the F1-score.
