Abstract

The lack of ground truth about malicious behaviors exhibited by current Android malware forces researchers to embark upon a lengthy process of manually analyzing malware instances. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically localize malicious behaviors residing in representations of apps’ runtime behaviors. Our initial evaluation using generated API calls traces of Android apps demonstrates the method’s feasibility and applicability.
