    Android Malware Category and Family Detection and Identification using Machine Learning Ahmed Hashem El Fiky1*, Ayman El Shenawy1, 2, Mohamed Ashraf Madkour1 1 Systems and Computer Engineering Dept., Faculty of Engineering, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. 1 Systems and Computer Engineering Dept., Faculty of Engineering, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. 2 Software Engineering and Information Technology, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Egyptian Chinese University, Cairo, Egypt. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Android malware is one of the most dangerous threats on the internet, and it's been on the rise for several years. Despite significant efforts in detecting and classifying android malware from innocuous android applications, there is still a long way to go. As a result, there is a need to provide a basic understanding of the behavior displayed by the most common Android malware categories and families. Each Android malware family and category has a distinct objective. As a result, it has impacted every corporate area, including healthcare, banking, transportation, government, and e-commerce. In this paper, we presented two machine- learning approaches for Dynamic Analysis of Android Malware: one for detecting and identifying Android Malware Categories and the other for detecting and identifying Android Malware Families, which was accomplished by analyzing a massive malware dataset with 14 prominent malware categories and 180 prominent malware families of CCCS-CIC- AndMal2020 dataset on Dynamic Layers. Our approach achieves in Android Malware Category detection more than 96 % accurate and achieves in Android Malware Family detection more than 99% accurate. Our approach provides a method for high-accuracy Dynamic Analysis of Android Malware while also shortening the time required to analyze smartphone malware.

  • Mobile Threat
    Mobile threat February 2018 David Bird FBCS considers threats via mobile devices and explains why he thinks the future may not be so bright. The unprecedented WannaCry ransomware and subsequent Petya destruct-ware outbreaks have caused mayhem internationally. As a result of a remote execution vulnerability, malware has propagated laterally due to two basic root-causes: (a) out-dated operating systems (OS), and/or (b) in-effective patching regimes. Here we have a commonality with the mobile device domain. There are many older generation devices that have different legacy mobile OSes installed that are no longer supported or updated. Legacy connected Microsoft Pocket PC palmtops and Windows CE or Windows Mobile devices are examples of tech still being used by delivery firms and supermarkets; even though they have been end-of-extended support since 2008 and 2014 respectively. So, do we have a problem? With over two and a half billion smartphones globally in 2016, the market is anticipated to reach at least six billion by 2020 due to the convenience of mobile back-end-as-a-service. Apparently, one vulnerability is disclosed every day, in which 10 per cent of those are critical. This figure does not include the number of internet-enabled tablets that are in circulation; in 2015, there were one billion globally, and this is expected to rise to almost one and a half billion by 2018. Today both Android-centric manufacturers and Apple fight for dominance in the mobile device market - squeezing out Blackberry’s enterprise smartphone monopoly. This has resulted in unsupported Blackberry smart-devices persisting in circulation, closely followed by successive versions of Windows Phone OS - with only 10 left supported.

Along with the benefits, smartphones also have high exposure to malware. Malware has progressively penetrated thereby causing more turbulence. Malware authors have become increasingly sophisticated and are able to evade detection by anti-malware engines. This has led to a constant arms race between malware authors and malware defenders. This survey converges on Android malware and covers a walkthrough of the various obfuscation attacks deployed during malware analysis phase along with the myriad of adversarial attacks operated at malware detection phase. The review also unscrambles the difficulties currently faced in deploying an on-device, lightweight malware detector. It sheds spotlight for researchers to perceive the current state of the art techniques available to fend off malware along with suggestions on possible future directions.

However, mobile services relaxed security has effectively made device users a target for hackers; mobile users have become increasingly concerned with security risks. The need for security has never been more detrimental than it is now. In this paper, we present a survey on emerging security issues of personal communication system, such as virus, worm, phishing and many others. In addition, some real recent examples are studied and finally some security rules are given to PCS users. I. Introduction Personal communication systems (PCS) have become a necessary part of human lifestyle. PCS is referred as several types of wireless voice and/or wireless data communications systems, typically incorporating digital technology, and providing services via Smartphones or personal digital assistants (PDAs) to give users mobile access to email, the internet, GPS navigation, and many other applications (Cheng, 2008). Furthermore, PCS can also be used to provide wireless-phone technology that combines a range of features and services surpassing those available in analog- and digital-cellar phone systems, including services which permit users to transmit and receive communications from a device within a WLAN and abroad.
