[QUOTE="danb, post: 916183, member: 62850"] Hmmm, very interesting. What obfuscator do you recommend? I would love to play around with this. My initial thought is that is that it would not produce a diverse enough (or even realistic / effective) training data set, but I would like to play around with it out of curiosity. Scripts and fileless malware in general are odd compared to PE32. I have read from various sources that ROUGHLY 33% of all PE32 files are malicious. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.virustotal.com/en/statistics/[/URL] Whereas both malious and Safe scripts are far less common, and the ratio of malicious scripts to Safe scripts that an end user will encounter is likely higher. In other words, I believe the best practice is to auto allow the obviously safe scripts (high file rep, spawned from a Safe process, etc.), and block the rest, especially if they are located in a common malware hiding spot.
