abstract = "Research in genetic improvement (GI) conventionally
focuses on the improvement of software, including the
automated repair of bugs and vulnerabilities as well as
the refinement of software to increase performance.
Eliminating or reducing vulnerabilities using GI has
improved the security of benign software, but the
growing volume and complexity of malicious software
necessitates better analysis techniques that may
benefit from a GI-based approach. Rather than focus on
the use of GI to improve individual software artefacts,
we believe GI can be applied to the tools used to
analyse malicious code for its behaviour. First,
malware analysis is critical to understanding the
damage caused by an attacker, which GI-based bug repair
does not currently address. Second, modern malware
samples leverage complex vectors for infection that
cannot currently be addressed by GI. In this paper, we
discuss an application of genetic improvement to the
realm of automated malware analysis through the use of
variable-strength covering arrays.",
