DESCRIPTION
Knowledge about the malware programs presented in the dataset is outdated and may not contain 
too much information for detecting today’s malware. It may, however, be useful for historical reference or other purposes.

This dataset is composed of a selection of Windows API/System-Call trace files, intended for testing on classifiers treating with sequences. Malware calls are classified and labeled '1' and benign software calls are labeled '0'. The calls are presented in sequential order. CSDM_API_Train.csv contains 388 logs. CSDM_API_TestData.csv contains 378 unclassified logs. CSDM_API_TestLable.csv contains the classifications for CSDM_API_TestData.csv. 
 
For more information, see readme_Task3.txt included with the data.


Date collected: November 2010

Collection method: This data was collected by API monitors during a data mining competition at the International Conference on Neural Information Processing (ICNIP) in Sydney, Austrailia 2010.
