Abstract

This project identifies the behaviours of Android malware and generates attack pattern through dynamic analysis. In the end of this project a script is created to verify the malware, DroidKungFu4 by the attack pattern of this malware. In this project, a step by step on configuring and carry out the dynamic analysis is provided as a guide for Android users so that they could protect their properties by carrying out the analysis following the guide. The behaviour of malware is difficult to identify and detect as the behaviour of each malware are varies. The objective of this project is to investigate the parameter, generate attack pattern of malware and develop a script to detect DroidKungFu4 malware. The project started with a literature review on malware then follow by plan on how to capture data of the malware for analysis. After the analysis on captured data has been done, then a script is designed. The main tools used in this project are Android SDK, and NetBeans. From the analysis result, DroidKungFu4 malware is a rootkit malware, which will try root the dhost device and scan for tainted file create by other variant of DroidKungFu malware. As it fails to root the host device, thus it can said that it is not a very harmful malware. Meanwhile, this project is to help end-user from being exploited by malware and to provide a prevention knowledge.
