Abstract
The rapid global spread of the web technology has led to an increase in unauthorized intrusions into computers and networks. Malicious web shell codes used by hackers can often cause extremely harmful consequences. However, the existing detection methods cannot precisely distinguish between the bad codes and the good codes. To solve this problem, we first detected the malicious web shell codes by applying the traditional data mining algorithms: Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, and Convolutional Neural Network. Then, we designed an ensemble learning classifier to further improve the accuracy. Our experimental analysis proved that the accuracy of SmartDetect—our proposed smart detection scheme for malicious web shell codes—was higher than the accuracy of Shell Detector and NeoPI on the dataset collected from Github. Also, the equal-error rate of the detection result of SmartDetect was lower than those of Shell Detector and NeoPI.
