Stateful Detection Of Stealthy Behaviors In Android Apps written by Mohsin Junaid and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019 with Computer crimes categories.

The number of smartphones has increased greatly during the last few years. Among the popular mobile operating systems (such as iOS and Android) installed on these devices, Android captures most of the mobile market share. This also puts Android OS in a spotlight to attract malware attacks. A recent study shows that for the last two years, more than ∼99% of the mobile malware targeted Android OS [1]. Examples of such attacks are leakage of privacy-sensitive data available on the devices (such as phone number, contacts, photos, and SMS and call logs), recording audio and video files, silently making phone calls in the background, and encrypting device files. Many of them are profit-oriented (i.e., sending SMS to premium rate numbers can cause unexpected higher monthly bills for the users). Driven by the rich profit, the malware attacks are also becoming stealthier over time to maximize the long-term payoffs. A stealthy attack typically takes extra precautionary measures to stay undetected for a longer period of time. There are two types of stealthy attacks based on how stealth is achieved: (1) Type 1 attacks use hidden or uncommon program flows of Android apps to exhibit their malicious behaviors. (2) Type 2 attacks launch additional actions to hide their intended malicious behaviors. For example, the infamous Android.HeHe malware [2] carefully takes three actions to silently block incoming phone calls: that is, it mutes ringer just before the incoming call is notified on the device, blocks the phone call, and unmutes the ringer after call blocking. To combat such attacks, researchers have developed numerous techniques based on static analysis. Static analysis detects malicious behaviors by analyzing the app code without execution. It represents program logic in some model (such as a control flow graph)and analyzes the model to detect possible attacks. The effectiveness of a static analysis tool relies on three key elements: (i) the app model representing app behaviors, (ii) the attack model representing attack behaviors, and (iii) the attack detection algorithm which analyzes the app model. If any of the models and/or the algorithm is inadequate, then sophisticated attacks such as stealthy attacks discussed above cannot be detected. To this end, this dissertation develops methods to accurately model app and attack behaviors, and, based on those models, improves analysis algorithms to effectively detect malicious behaviors inAndroid apps. More specifically, the dissertation proposes two static analysis frameworks called Dexteroid and StateDroid to achieve these goals. The former identifies many hidden program flows and based on them, analyzes Android apps to detect malicious behaviors including type 1 stealthy attacks. The latter focuses on modeling of malware attacks and developing analysis techniques to detect the attacks such as type 2 stealthy attacks. Dexteroid identifies hidden program flows in Android apps by performing reverse engineering on life cycle models of Android components. The components are building blocks of Android apps and life cycle models describe components' behaviors. Dexteroid represents the reverse-engineered life cycle models as state machines and drives from the mall program flows which consist of component callback methods. The callback methods are analyzed to detect malicious behaviors, including those that are launched through hidden program flows. A prototype of Dexteroid is implemented as a static taint analysis tool. A novel implementation of taint analysis which maintains up to date values and states of program variables through symbol tables allows Dexteroid to detect many attacks with high accuracy. Current implementation detects two attacks: (1) leakage of private information, and (2) sending SMS to premium-rate numbers. Evaluation results on a Google Play and Genome Malware apps show that the proposed framework is effective and efficient in terms of precision, recall, and execution time. StateDroid focuses on detecting type 2 stealthy attacks which typically execute multiple actions to launch and hide their malicious behaviors. To detect them, the framework presents novel techniques, based on state machines, to construct accurate attack behaviors. An attack, represented by an attack state machine (ASM), has states and transitions; state represents status of the attack, and transition represents the executed action. The framework first detects actions of an attack, and then uses them with an ASM to detect the attack. Given an Android app as an input, StateDroid performs fine-grained static analysis and reports various detected stealthy behaviors (in one pass), including but not limited to sending SMS message, blocking phone call, removing app icon from launcher menu, recording an audio or video file, and setting device ringer to silent mode. A prototype of StateDroid framework is implemented, and evaluated extensively with ground truth dataset,1505 Google Play apps, and 1369 malicious apps including 94 notorious ransom ware apps. The experimental results demonstrate the efficacy and generality of StateDroid. The success of StateDroid will enable broader adoptions of formal methods in cyber defense.

Tools For Program Understanding And Reverse Engineering Of Mobile Applications written by Tuan Anh Nguyen and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017 with Application software categories.

Mobile software development is evolving rapidly. Software development includes computer programing, documenting, testing and bug fixing processes. These processes need a detail understanding of the application logic which often requires reverse-engineering their artifacts. My thesis identifies and addresses the following three problems in mobile software development, specifically in program understanding and reverse-engineering for mobile application development. (1) There is no graphical on-phone debugger. (2) The second problem is that mobile software programmers have to manually re-implement the conceptual screen drawings or sketches of graphical artists in code, which is cumbersome and expensive. (3) Companies try to ”go mobile” (by developing mobile apps). To do that understanding the high level business of their current legacy software systems is necessary but challenging. To address these three challenges, this dissertation introduces the following three innovations. (1) GROPG is the first graphical on-phone debugger. GROPG makes debugging mobile apps more convenient and productive than existing textbased on-phone debuggers. (2) REMAUI is a mobile digital screenshot and sketch reverse-engineering tool. REMAUI makes developing mobile user interface code easier. (3) RengLaDom is a legacy application reverse-engineering tool. RengLaDom can infer domain concepts from legacy source code. Specifically, (1) debugging mobile phone applications is hard, as current debugging techniques either require multiple computing devices or do not support graphical debugging. To address this problem we present GROPG, the first graphical on-phone debugger. We implement GROPG for Android and perform a preliminary evaluation on third-party applications. Our experiments suggest that GROPG can lower the overall debugging time of a comparable text-based on-phone debugger by up to 2/3. (2) Second, when developing the user interface code of a mobile application, a big gap exists between the sketches and digital conceptual drawings of graphic artists and working user interface code. Currently, programmers bridge this gap manually, by re-implementing the sketches and drawings in code, which is cumbersome and expensive. To bridge this gap, this dissertation introduces the first technique to automatically reverse engineer mobile application user interfaces from UI sketches, digital conceptual drawings, or screenshots (REMAUI). In our experiments on third party inputs, REMAUI's inferred runtime user interface hierarchies closely resembled the user interface runtime UI hierarchies of the applications that produced REMAUI's inputs. Further, the resulting screenshots closely resembled REMAUI's inputs and overall runtime was below one minute. (3) Finally, a promising approach to understanding the business functions implemented by a large-scale legacy application is to reverse engineer the full application code with all its complications into a high-level abstraction such as a design document that can focus exclusively on important domain concepts. Although much progress has been made, we encountered the following two problems. (a) Existing techniques often cannot distinguish between code that carries interesting domain concepts and code that merely provides low-level implementation services. (b) For an evaluation, given that design documents are typically not maintained throughout program development, how can we judge if the domain model inferred by a given technique is of a high quality? We address these problems by re-examining the notion of domain models in object-oriented development and encoding our understanding in a novel lightweight reverse engineering technique that pinpoints those program classes that likely carry domain concepts. We implement our techniques in a RengLaDom prototype tool for Java and compare how close our inferred domain models are to existing domain models. Given the lack of traditional domain models, we propose to use for such evaluation existing object-relational data persistence mappings (ORM), which map program classes to a relational database schema. The original application engineers carefully designed such mappings, consider them valuable, and maintain them as part of the application. After manually removing such OR mappings from open-source applications, our RengLaDom technique was able to reverse engineer domain models that are much closer to the original ORM domain models than the models produced by competing approaches, regardless of the particular ORM framework used. Additional experiments indicate that RengLaDom's ability to infer better domain models extends to a variety of non-ORM applications.
