Android Malware Analysis: A How-To
Summary: Cisco Talos gave a presentation at Hack in the Box Malaysia on analyzing Android APK files, covering the steps from initial file to full static and dynamic analysis, with slides linking to useful tools. The talk also covered the Android permissions system and its relevance to static analysis, plus example packet captures from in-the-wild malicious apps.
Key Takeaway: Talos notes the vast majority of malicious apps come not from the Google market but from third-party package distribution sources, so the homework on where an app came from is the control that matters most.
