Abstract
ABSTRACT As the forms of cyberattacks become diverse, there has been rep orted another case of exploiting vulnerabilities revealed while processing either a document or multimedia file that was distri buted for attacking purpose, which would replace the traditiona l method of distributing malwares directly. The attack is based upon the observation that the softwares such as document editer or multimedia player may reveal inherent vulnerabilities on som e specific inputs. The fuzzing methods that provide invalid random inputs for test purpose could discover such exploits.This paper suggests a new fuzzing method on document applicatio ns that could work in mobile environments, in order to resolve the drawback that the existing methods run only in PC e nvironments. Our methods could effectively discover the exploit s of mobile applications, and thus could be utilized as a means o f dealing with APT attacks in mobile environments.Keywords: SmartPhone, Android, Fuzzing, Document, Vulnerability
