Evaluation of Android Anti-malware Techniques against Dalvik Bytecode Obfuscation

摘要: Popularity and growth of Android mobile devices has paved the way for exploiting popular apps using various Dalvik byte code transformation methods. Testing antimalware techniques against obfuscation identifies need proposing effective detection In this paper, we explore resilience anti-malware transformations Android. The Proposed approach employs variable compression, native wrapping register renaming, in addition to already implemented on code. Evaluation results indicate low engines obfuscation. Furthermore, evaluate Androguard's similarity AndroSimilar's robust statistical feature signature obfuscated malware.
