The increasing number of sophisticated malware poses a major cybersecurity threat. Portable executable (PE) files are a common vector for such malware. In this work we review and evaluate machine learning-based PE malware detection techniques. Using a large benchmark dataset, we evaluate features of PE files using the most common machine learning techniques to detect malware.
