“…If Total Weightage is greater than threshold value then application is declared as malicious application. Total Weightage (Total Weightage ) is calculated as (1) For analysis, different applications are taken from android market and some new applications are also developed in which malicious code is introduced. In this paper, testing of different applications is done by considering various factors like Application which behaves normal Application which show malicious samples by testing with Avira and McAfee Application in which malicious code is embedded Application which is malicious but not detected by antivirus scanner It has been observed that all malicious applications are declared as malicious by our hybrid approach.…”

Among all available Mobile OS, Android is an ideal target for attackers due to its huge popularity. Android provides open-source OS and also provides ability to install third party applications that poses threat of user's privacy breach. In this paper, we have a close look at permissions that are granted during installation period. We have proposed a hybrid approach for detection of malicious applications by scanning with different antivirus softwares and comparing all. This hybrid approach depends upon three parameters-Description Mapping, Interface Analysis and Source Code Analysis that defines an application's behaviour i.e. either it behaves malicious or normal.

Smart phones, which were once a luxury product has now become a household product. This transformation has been due to the vast amount of functionalities which a smart phone provides in just a single device. Smartphone OS, such as Android, is an Open Source mobile platform that enables us to install third party applications. Due to large amount of applications that are available on the app store, it becomes very difficult for a user to distinguish between a malware free and malware containing application. In this paper, we are proposing a hybrid approach for detection of spyware genre applications out of all the installed applications.
