Understanding DeepLocker Malware and AI-Embedded Attacks
Security researchers at Sevastopol State University have developed DeepLocker, a sophisticated malware that leverages artificial neural networks to conceal its activation conditions and evade detection. The malware utilizes deep neural networks to function, making it difficult to detect and analyze. DeepLocker features AI-embedded attacks that target specific attributes and execute payloads based on predefined conditions. This advanced form of malware poses a significant threat to information security due to its stealthy nature and ability to adapt to different environments.

Nesterenko Vladimir Information security, 4 grade Sevastopol state university
2 Security researchers and AI Security researchers from CCSI have created a unique malware called DeepLocker. DeepLocker is new kind of malware, that uses embedded artificial neural network to define activation conditions.
3 Simple multilayer perceptron
4 Deep Neural Networks To find out, how DeepLocker works we need to know what is deep artificial neural networks. A deep neural network(DNN) is an artificial neural network (ANN) with multiple layers between the input and output layers.
5 AI aided attacks scheme Ai supports attacking infrastructure and makes new creative attacks.
6 Ai-embedded attack Ai embedded in malware and distributed to victim s computer for processing some attributes. One of the newest malware of that type is DeepLocker.
7 Traditional targeted attack START Stuxnet RegKeyExist( some key ) Is this a target? YES NO Execute Attack End
8 Ai-powered targeted attack START Generated by AI key for target person YES NO Encrypted Payload End
Targets attributes recognition 9 Ai are used to recognize target attributes and run malware payload if reference attribute was found
10 Process of locking and unlocking of payload
DeepLocker features 11 DeepLocker is able to leverage the black-box nature of the DNN AI model to conceal the trigger condition. A simple if this, then that trigger condition is transformed into a deep convolutional network of the AI model that is very hard to decipher. In addition to that, it is able to convert the concealed trigger condition itself into a password or key that is required to unlock the attack payload.
