    Automated multi-level malware detection system based on reconstructed semantic view of executables using machine learning techniques at VMM
    (Elsevier B.V., 2018) M.a, A.K.; Jaidhar, C.D.
    In order to fulfill the requirements like stringent timing restraints and demand on resources, Cyber–Physical System (CPS) must deploy on the virtualized environment such as cloud computing. To protect Virtual Machines (VMs) in which CPSs are functioning against malware-based attacks, malware detection and mitigation technique is emerging as a highly crucial concern. The traditional VM-based anti-malware software themselves a potential target for malware-based attack since they are easily subverted by sophisticated malware. Thus, a reliable and robust malware monitoring and detection systems are needed to detect and mitigate rapidly the malware based cyber-attacks in real time particularly for virtualized environment. The Virtual Machine Introspection (VMI) has emerged as a fine-grained out-of-VM security solution to detect malware by introspecting and reconstructing the volatile memory state of the live guest Operating System (OS) by functioning at the Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) or hypervisor. However, the reconstructed semantic details by the VMI are available in a combination of benign and malicious states at the hypervisor. In order to distinguish between these two states, extensive manual analysis is required by the existing out-of-VM security solutions. To address the foremost issue, in this paper, we propose an advanced VMM-based guest-assisted Automated Multilevel Malware Detection System (AMMDS) that leverages both VMI and Memory Forensic Analysis (MFA) techniques to predict early symptoms of malware execution by detecting stealthy hidden processes on a live guest OS. More specifically, the AMMDS system detects and classifies the actual running malicious executables from the semantically reconstructed process view of the guest OS. The two sub-components of the AMMDS are: Online Malware Detector (OMD) and Offline Malware Classifier (OFMC). The OMD recognizes whether the running processes are benign or malicious using its Local Malware Signature Database (LMSD) and online malware scanner and the OFMC classify unknown malware by adopting machine learning techniques at the hypervisor. The AMMDS has been evaluated by executing large real-world malware and benign executables on to the live guest OSs. The evaluation results achieved 100% of accuracy and zero False Positive Rate (FPR) on the 10-fold cross-validation in classifying unknown malware with maximum performance overhead of 5.8%. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

    Cardamom Plant Disease Detection Approach Using EfficientNetV2
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Sunil, C.K.; Jaidhar, C.D.; Patil, N.
    Cardamom is a queen of spices. It is indigenously grown in the evergreen forests of Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and the northeastern states of India. India is the third largest producer of cardamom. Plant diseases cause a catastrophic influence on food production safety; they reduce the eminence and quantum of agricultural products. Plant diseases may cause significantly high loss or no harvest in dreadful cases. Various diseases and pests affect the growth of cardamom plants at different stages and crop yields. This study concentrated on two diseases of cardamom plants, Colletotrichum Blight and Phyllosticta Leaf Spot of cardamom and three diseases of grape, Black Rot, ESCA, and Isariopsis Leaf Spot. Various methods have been proposed for plant disease detection, and deep learning has become the preferred method because of its spectacular accomplishment. In this study, U2-Net was used to remove the unwanted background of an input image by selecting multiscale features. This work proposes a cardamom plant disease detection approach using the EfficientNetV2 model. A comprehensive set of experiments was carried out to ascertain the performance of the proposed approach and compare it with other models such as EfficientNet and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The experimental results showed that the proposed approach achieved a detection accuracy of 98.26%. © 2013 IEEE.
