ScanMe mobile: a local and cloud hybrid service for analyzing APKs

As mobile malware increases in numbers and sophistication, it becomes pertinent for users to have access to tools that can inform them of potentially malicious applications. In this paper, we developed a cloud based Android malware analysis service called ScanMe Mobile. The objective of this service is to allow users to learn information about Android application package (APK) files before installing them on their Android devices. With ScanMe Mobile, users can locally scan APK files on their phone's SD (Secure Digital) memory card, compile a comprehensive report, and share the report by publishing it through a web interface. ScanMe Mobile allows users to perform both static and dynamic analysis on APK files. In addition to integrating some existing analysis tools into the system, we performed Android malware detection based on machine learning techniques. Our experimental data shows that our proposed system can effectively detect malware on the Android platform.
