Abstract: 

This study delves into how human intuition detects evasion attacks. Through a suggested online survey with industry and academic practitioners, we will analyze the detection of evasive malware samples by humans, from simple to complex tactics. We wish to emphasize the need for improved malware detection and training for future cybersecurity experts, to enhance malware detection in human-computer defense systems.
