Harehunter, HareGuard, Android, Android Malware Detection.Abstract
Android is a complicated system that applications and component are usable and support for multiple work together, giving rise to highly complex interdependence relationships. Meanwhile, the Android environment is notable for being greatlty disparate and decentralized: different Operation System version is personalized and re-personalized by different parties about fast and used by whoever that can develop an application for that version. Android secure its explanation sources over an app sandbox and permissions model, where each application execution in this part can entrance only suspectible overall assets and another application component (value providers, services, activities, publication receivers) by the appropriate liscense.
This study uses Harehunter measurement to automatically detect Hare vulnerabilities in Android system applications. Harehunter and HareGuard performance evaluations were carried out in this study, both of which proved to be highly effective. The approach used here is divergent investigation, by searching all quoted, decompiled script, and obvious data for targeted attribute determination as an initial step, and running an XML parser. The outcome of this research show that the impact of Hares is very significant. The application of HareGuard in this study proved to be effective in detecting all attack applications that were made. Further evaluation of the performance impact on the minimum system host. For future research, to make Harehunter more effective, it is suggested to use a more qualified analyzer. So that this direction can be explored in more depth.
