This paper distinguishes malware families from a specific category (i.e., ransomware) via dynamic analysis. We collect samples from four ransomware families and use Cuckoo sandbox environment, to observe their runtime behaviour. This study aims to provide new insight into malware family classification by comparing possible runtime features, and application of different extraction and selection techniques on them. As we try many extraction models on call traces such as bag-of-words, ngram sequences and wildcard patterns, we also look for other behavioural features such as files, registry and mutex artefacts. While wildcard patterns on call traces are designed to overcome advanced evasion strategies such as the insertion of junk API calls (ca...
