System and method for detecting hidden executable media files using artificial intelligence and hashing algorithms

Abstract

A system for detecting hidden executable files accesses a first image, generates a first hash value for the first image based at least in part upon a hashing algorithm, determines a first pattern of the first hash value and multiple patterns of stored hash values corresponding to multiple images without hidden executable files, determines whether the first pattern matches any of the patterns based on a comparison between the first pattern and each of the patterns, and determines the first image includes a hidden executable file if the first pattern does not match any of the patterns.
