With the exponential increase in internet-connected systems and services, cyber threats have grown in complexity and scale.
One of the most prevalent forms of cyber threats is malware, often delivered through executable files or malicious URLs. This paper
presents a comprehensive malware detection system that integrates two detection mechanisms—Portable Executable (PE) file analysis
and URL analysis—leveraging machine learning techniques for classification. The PE file detection module extracts structural and
statistical features using pefile [8], while the URL scanner relies on lexical analysis with TF-IDF [3] vectorization. A Flask web application
serves as the user interface, allowing users to upload executable files or input URLs for malware detection. The system achieves high
accuracy using Random Forest and Logistic Regression models, respectively, and demonstrates the practicality of ML-based approaches
in proactive threat detection.
