abstract = "We propose a novel application of Genetic Programming
(GP): the identification of file types via the analysis
of raw binary streams (i.e., without the use of meta
data). GP evolves programs with multiple components.
One component analyses statistical features extracted
from the raw byte-series to divide the data into
blocks. These blocks are then analysed via another
component to obtain a signature for each file in a
training set. These signatures are then projected onto
a two-dimensional Euclidean space via two further
(evolved) program components. K-means clustering is
applied to group similar signatures. Each cluster is
then labelled according to the dominant label for its
members. Once a program that achieves good
classification is evolved it can be used on unseen data
without requiring any further evolution. Experimental
results show that GP compares very well with
established file classification algorithms (i.e.,
Neural Networks, Bayes Networks and J48 Decision
Trees).",
