DroidOL: Όσοι παρακολουθούν τα νέα για την διαδικτυακή ασφάλεια θα γνωρίζουν ότι οι εγκληματίες γίνονται συνεχώς και πιο ευρηματικοί, αναπτύσσουν νέα tools, and are discovering new ways of attacking to go unnoticed by conventional solutions security. Μια ομάδα ερευνητών από το Τεχνολογικό University Nanyang, Singapore has created a new large-scale solution for Android malware detection.
It is called DroidOL, and is a customized and extensible malware detection framework based on online learning.
Let's see how the DroidOL framework helps improve the detection of Android malware.
“DroidOL achieves superior accuracy by extracting high-quality features from applications' inter-procedural control-flow graphs (ICFGs), which are known to appear very strongly during the various obfuscation techniques that are used by the malicious software”, the researchers explain.
The researchers used the Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) graph kernel for Eqtreatment semantic features from ICFGs, and finally e-learning to distinguish between good and bad applications.
The model is continually retrained, and ultimately, it performs significantly better than the engineering-based learning techniques that dominate various platforms (including Android OS).
“In a large-scale benchmarking with more than 87.000 applications, DroidOL achieves an accuracy of 84.29%, surpassing two state-of-the-art malware techniques by more than 20% in a standard learning environment and over 3% when is constantly being trained, ”the researchers note.
