Abstract: In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, malware code hidden through code obfuscation is a key challenge for detection systems. This research explores how to identify and analyze these obfuscations by turning binary code into grayscale images, avoiding traditional code analysis methods that obfuscations might disrupt. We convert the bytes of binary code to grayscale values and use singular value decomposition (SVD) to uncover patterns that different obfuscation techniques create in the images. This method helps us see if specific obfuscation approaches cause unique patterns in the binary data, allowing us to classify them accurately. We apply this technique to improve malware obfuscation detection and help software developers choose obfuscation methods that are harder to spot. The main achievements of this study include developing a dependable system for classifying obfuscated code, a detailed evaluation of how obfuscations affect binary structure and visual representations there of, and insights into using visual analysis for structural code analysis.
