title: How to Begin with Mobile Malware?
body: <p>I've decided to start doing research into mobile malware, specifically Android, in order to understand it better. I don't have much of a background in Android programming, or in malware creation. </p>
  
  <p>First off, what is the difference between the code of an Android app, and Android malware? I've written a few simple apps, but I'm not sure where to begin on malware.</p>
  
  <p>Second, I know Google offers APIs that can help with a lot of things that Android malware can do, but I'm not very familiar with them. I'd like to write a very simple piece of Android malware that will create a copy of incoming text messages and send them, transparently to another number. Is this difficult to do?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
