OPTISTACK: A Hybrid Ensemble Learning and XAI-Based Approach for Malware Detection in Compressed Files

The increasing reliance on compressed file formats for data storage and transmission has made them attractive vectors for malware propagation, as their structural complexity enables evasion of conventional detection mechanisms. Although entropy-based analysis has been widely applied in executable ma...
