Abstract

The exploding of Android malware makes security analysis more important and urgently calls for automation in its analysis. Often automation analysis includes static and dynamic methods. And an important work of the dynamic analysis is gathering accurate behavior information of Android apps. However, traditional methods, which are used to inject random events to exercise the user interface, can not capture the behavior triggered by the event. To overcome the above shortcomings, this paper designs a framework of the Android malware detection based on cloud and focuses on how to design an Event Trigger to trigger more behaviors. This method can enlarge the dynamic analysis scope to find more information of malicious behaviors.
