Abstract

In order to apply any machine learning algorithm or classifier, it is fundamentally important to first and foremost collect relevant features. This is most important in the field of dynamic analysis approach to anomaly malware detection systems. In this approach, the behaviour patterns of applications while in execution are analysed. The behaviour features that Android as a system allows access permissions to depend on the type of device; either rooted or not. Android is based on the Linux kernel at the bottom layer, all layers on top of the kernel run without privileged mode. Thus, if a behaviour feature vector is created from features of Android (Application Programming Interface) API in unrooted mode, then only system information made available by Android can be used. In this paper, a Device Monitoring system for an unrooted device is developed and used to collect Android application data. The application data is used to build feature vectors that describes the Android application behaviour for Anomaly malware detection.
