[QUOTE="ShenguiTurmi, post: 1035258, member: 99409"] I just got a new backdoor sample from someone and it will inject a lot of (random?) processes and start payloads, and I found that DeepInstinct detected it when I tested it. [SPOILER="DI"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="di1.png"]274460[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] Then I uploaded it to VT to see if other security software had detected it, and that's when a very strange scene occurred. [SPOILER="VT"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="di2.png"]274461[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] As shown in the image, DeepInstinct on VirusTotal does not detect it. I initially thought that it was the very high threshold of ML's confidence on VT, which I set to a medium threshold, that produced the result, but I observed that it was not so simple. [SPOILER="DI Portal"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="di3.png"]274462[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] Yes, in DeepInstinct's backend I found that the machine learning gives a very high degree of confidence, meaning that the sample should be detected at any setting. This is very strange, and the only reason is that VT and I do not have the same ML engine or model. I asked other friends who follow security and I was told that TrendMicro often has different results than VirusTotal when they test as well. I understand that there may be some different results on VirusTotal due to limitations, such as Avira and Gridinsoft dont have cloud. But I was very surprised that even the basic ML results were different. Have you guys noticed such phenomenon? Or is this just an isolated case that I am experiencing? It may be inappropriate to post virus samples in the public section, so I'll just include the link to VT: [URL='https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b5cf3fba65c81981f8e0b94bfe405cad7c1e7ba137300ed8620d88d730fd98c9']VirusTotal[/URL] [/QUOTE]
