Abstract:

An Android malware family classification method based on the image of bytecode was proposed accord-ing to the exponential growth of Android malware.A bytecode file of Android malware was converted to a 256-level grayscale image and texture features was extracted from the image by GIST.The random forest algorithm was ap-plied to classify the extracted features.The method by the experimental data of 14 kinds of common Android mal-ware families was verified and was compared against the DREBIN on the same dataset.The experimental results show that the proposed method has high detection precision and low false positive rate.

Key words: Android, malware family, image texture, bytecode
