Description

<jats:p>Code authorship attribution is the process of identifying the author of a given code. With increasing numbers of malware and advanced mutation techniques, the authors of malware are creating a large number of malware variants. To better deal with this problem, methods for examining the authorship of malicious code are necessary. Code authorship attribution techniques can thus be utilized to identify and categorize the authors of malware. This information can help predict the types of tools and techniques that the author of a specific malware uses, as well as the manner in which the malware spreads and evolves. In this article, we present the first comprehensive review of research on code authorship attribution. The article summarizes various methods of authorship attribution and highlights challenges in the field.</jats:p>
