Abstract

Detecting malware in mobile applications has become increasingly complex as malware developers turn to advanced techniques to hide or obfuscate malicious components. Alterdroid is a dynamic-analysis tool that compares the behavioral differences between an original app and numerous automatically generated versions of it containing carefully injected modifications. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/4M1oribza7c is a video discussion of Alterdroid, a dynamic-analysis tool that compares the behavioral differences between an original app and numerous automatically generated versions of it containing carefully injected modifications.
