Decompiled Malware Classification (RetDec): leaderboard
Malware triage from decompiled code (Turkmen and Raina, 2026): 100 C programs, 50 benign utilities with malware-like idioms and 50 malware samples, are compiled with gcc -O2, stripped and decompiled, and the model labels each benign or malicious after a brief rationale while reading the RetDec pseudo-C. Malicious-class F1 in percent, mean of five runs at temperature 0.6; higher is better.
Metric: Malicious-class F1 (%; 100 C programs, 50 benign utilities and 50 malware samples, compiled with gcc -O2 and stripped; the model reads the RetDec decompilation and returns a benign or malicious label after a brief rationale; mean of five runs at temperature 0.6). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 6 models tracked.
