A Novel Dynamic Android Malware With the popularity of Android smartphones, malicious applications targeted Android platform have explosively increased. Proposing effective Android malware detection method for preventing the spread of malware has become an emerging issue. Various features extracted through static and dynamic analysis in conjunction with machine learning algorithm have been the mainstream in large-scale malware identification. In general, static analysis becomes invalid in detecting applications which adopt sophisticated obfuscation techniques like encryption or dynamic code loading. However, dynamic analysis is suitable to deal with these evasion techniques. In this paper, we propose an effective dynamic analysis framework, called EnDroid, in the aim of implementing highly precise malware detection based on multiple types of dynamic behavior features. These features cover system-level behavior trace and common application-level malicious behaviors like p...

Android REST APIs Mobile Applications (apps) are defined as softwares that can be installed and executed on mobile devices like smart phones, and personal digital assistance (PDA). Mobile applications continue to emerge as a powerful and universal service delivery channel en abling companies to offer consumers a variety of products and services [1]. Indeed, the rapid advancement of mobile technology and the subsequent service innovation deriving from it is leading many companies to develop relations with consumers through mobile applications [2]. In addition, with lower prices of mobile devices with higher memory size and longer battery life have all resulted in a surge in usage of mobile phone and application services [3]. The increasing development platforms for apps represent a major revolution in software development. Rather than hardware or soft...

A Novel Dynamic Android Malware Detection System With Ensemble Learning ACCORDING to IDC statistic data [1], Android captures 85% of smartphones market in Q1 2017. With millions of applications in different markets, it provides a wealth of functionality to Android users, such as instant messaging, location-based services, online shopping and gaming. Un- fortunately, smartphones with Android operating system are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals and infected with malicious applications. Allowing for installing applications from untrustworthy third-party markets, Android platform can be easily attacked by distributing applications with mal- ware. Mcafee security reports [2], in the first quarter of 2017, the total number of mobile malware reaches more than 16,000,000. There is an urgenneed for effective and efficient ness of the permission mechanism. As a consequence, the permission control mechanism can hardly limit the propaga- tion of ...

Android REST APIs : Volley vs Retrofit In the old days, networking in Android was a nightmare. Nowadays the problem is to find out which solution fits better the project’s necessities. Therefore, almost every Android applications use a Web REST API for data transfer. Previously, developers preferred to write their own code to retrieve and analyze data. However, they now have a whole range of REST client libraries, which can speed up development by reducing the coding efforts, and efficiently analyze data. The REST (Representational State Transfer) has become the most commonly used way for creating, publishing, and consuming Web services, exploiting JavaScri pt Object Notation (JSON) as a data exchange format. Android Volley and Retrofit are the most used libraries for accessing the REST Web APIs today. Code Shoppy Mobile Applications (apps) are defined as softwares that can be ...

IELTS, SAT, GMAT – Understanding the Exams you need to clear for admission to Universities in USA, UK, Canada Every year lakhs of students travel to countries abroad to study. From seeking quality education to a cultural experience and even the prospect of immigration, the motivations for studying abroad are multifaceted. However, while many aspire, only few are truly aware of the process of studying abroad. https://ecsielts.com/ The first question usually that students have is – what are the exams required for seeking admissions to universities abroad. What is IELTS, SAT, TOEFL, GMAT and how important they are for studying abroad? Before we explain one and all of the examinations required by students, it is important to understand that the requirements vary from country to country and from university to university. In terms of examination, there are essentially two category of examinations – Language Proficiency examinations or IELTS, TOEFL, DSH, etc. and Aptitude Te...
