Hello,

I am loking for project that implement Neural Networks and spectrum analysis 
to detect polymorphic shellcodes such as those of ADMutate.


This seems like a bad case of "pushing a technique onto a problem" or
better "buzzword fascination problem".

Spectral analysis is useful on continuous variables. How would you
represent "a shellcode" as a continuous variable or multivariate series
of continuos variables ?

Neural networks themselves are more useful on metric variables than on
qualitative variables. And here again: on what metrics and features
would you train them ?
