Title
Advanced 3D Visualization of Android Malware Families
Abstract
The number of attacks aimed at compromising smartphones in general, and Android devices in particular, is acknowledged as one of the main security concerns of these devices. Accordingly, a great effort has been devoted in recent years to deal with such incidents. However, scant attention has been paid to study the application of different visualization techniques for the analysis of malware. To bridge this gap, the present paper proposes the application of a novel technique called Hybrid Unsupervised Exploratory Plots (HUEPs) for the visualization of an Androidmalware dataset. Thanks to the advanced 3Dvisualization that is obtained, the proposed solution provides with an overview of the structure of the malware families, supporting the analysis of their internal organization. Experimentation has been carried out with the popular Android Malware Genome (Malgenome) dataset, obtaining promising results.
