Summary

UAP4MA is a decision-based, problem-space, black-box method for generating universal adversarial perturbations against APT malware attribution models. It uses a multi-agent Multi-Armed Bandit framework that applies functionality-preserving transformations from 13 types. On the AMG43 and APTMalware datasets, it achieves over four times the fooling rate, double the attack success rate, and an 80% reduction in training time compared with state-of-the-art methods.
