摘要：Mobile malware threats (e.g., on Android) have recently become a real concern. In this paper, weevaluate the state-of-the-art commercial mobile anti-malware products for Android and test how resistant theyare against various common obfuscation techniques (even with known malware). Such an evaluation isimportant for not only measuring the available defense against mobile malware threats but also proposingeffec- tive, next-generation solutions. We developed CarbonRom, a systematic framework with varioustransformation techniques, and used it for our study. Our results on ten popular commercial anti-malwareapplications for Android are worrisome: none of these tools is resistant against common malwaretransformation techniques. Moreover, a majority of them can be trivially defeated by applying slighttransformation over known malware with little effort for malware authors. Finally, in the light of our results,we propose possible remedies for improving the current state of malware detection on mobile devices.
