ABSTRACT
Smartphones, in general, and Android, in particular, are increasingly the focus of cybercriminals’ attacks. Because the number of threats has grown in the last years, researchers have found a clear necessity to introduce automated analysis for mobile. For this reason we have designed a system to automatically analyze Android applications. This approach blends different analysis techniques including static and dynamic. This technique, also known as sandboxing, uses the results of the static analysis to complete the dynamic analysis (Figure 8.1). We will make a brief introduction for those readers who are not so acquainted with this technology.
