Abstract
Host Based Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS) are gaining traction in discovering malicious software inside a host operating system. In this paper, the authors have developed a new cognitive host based anomaly detection system based on supervised AdaBoost machine learning algorithm. Particularly, information fractal dimension based approach is incorporated in the original AdaBoost machine learning algorithm to assign higher weight to the classifier that estimates wrong hypothesis. An agent based host sensor is developed that continuously gathers and extracts network profile of all the host processes and the modules spawned by each process of a Microsoft Windows 7 operating system. The main contributions of this paper are that a malware testing sandbox is developed using Microsoft native APIs and an information fractal (cognitive) based AdaBoost algorithm is designed and developed. Our results on empirical data set shows that the malware detection performance of the proposed algorithm outperforms original AdaBoost algorithm in detecting positives including the reduction of false negatives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
