This is the code repository for Machine Learning for Cybersecurity Cookbook , published by Packt.
Implement smart AI systems for preventing cyber attacks and detecting threats and network anomalies
Organizations today face a major threat in terms of cybersecurity, from malicious URLs to credential reuse, and having robust security systems can make all the difference. With this book, you'll learn how to use Python libraries such as TensorFlow and scikit-learn to implement the latest artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and handle challenges faced by cybersecurity researchers.
This book covers the following exciting features: Learn how to build malware classifiers to detect suspicious activities Apply ML to generate custom malware to pentest your security Use ML algorithms with complex datasets to implement cybersecurity concepts Create neural networks to identify fake videos and images Secure your organization from one of the most popular threats – insider threats Defend against zero-day threats by constructing an anomaly detection system Detect web vulnerabilities effectively by combining Metasploit and ML Understand how to train a model without exposing the training data

Emmanuel Tsukerman graduated from Stanford University and obtained his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. In 2017, Dr. Tsukerman's anti-ransomware product was listed in the Top 10 ransomware products of 2018 by PC Magazine. In 2018, he designed an ML-based, instant-verdict malware detection system for Palo Alto Networks' WildFire service of over 30,000 customers. In 2019, Dr. Tsukerman launched the first cybersecurity data science course.
