Abstract

Code reuse is a frequent practice in mal ware development and finding code similar to known mal ware can thus be a promising strategy for mal ware detection. In this paper, we analyze the use of the clone detector StoneDetector for finding Android malware. To this end, signatures of known malware are generated and used to look for suspicious code fragments in Android APK packages. Feasibility of the approach is shown for a case study on samples of the FinSpy mal ware family.
