According to the Symantec and F-Secure threat reports, mobile malware development in 2013 and 2014 has continued to focus almost exclusively (~99%) on the Android platform. Malware writers are applying stealthy mutations (obfuscations) to create malware variants, thwarting detection by signature-based detectors. In addition, the plethora of more sophisticated detectors making use of static analysis techniques to detect such variants operate only at the bytecode level, meaning that malware embedded in native code goes undetected. A recent study shows that 86% of the most popular Android applications contain native code, making native code malware a plausible threat vector. This paper proposes DroidNative, an Android malware detector that uses specific control flow patterns to reduce the effect of obfuscations and provides automation. As far as we know, DroidNative is the first system that builds cross …
