Android platform has been the target of attackers due to its openness and increasing popularity. Android malware has explosively increased in recent years, which poses serious threats to Android security. Thus proposing efficient Android malware detection methods is curial in defeating malware. Various features extracted from static or dynamic analysis using machine learning have played an important role in malware detection recently. However, existing code obfuscation, code encryption, and dynamic code loading techniques can be employed to hinder systems that single based on static analysis, purely dynamic analysis systems cannot detect all potential code execution paths. To address these issues, we propose CoDroid, a sequence-based hybrid Android malware detection method, which utilizes the sequences of static opcode and dynamic system call. We treat one sequence as a sentence in the natural language processing and construct a CNN-BiLSTM-Attention classifier which consists of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) with an attention language model. We extensively evaluate CoDroid under a real-world data set and perform comprehensive analysis against other existing related detection methods. The evaluations show the effectiveness and flexibility of CoDroid across a variety of experimental settings.
The broad application of artificial intelligence (AI) shows more and more vulnerabilities. Adversaries have more opportunities to attack AI systems. For example, unmanned vehicles may be interfered with by adversaries in path planning, resulting in unmanned vehicles
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
