DriodRC:Android application repackaging detection method based on resources and codes
Due to the openness of the Android system,there are a large number of repackaged applications in the application market,which poses a threat to the interests of developers and the security and privacy of users.This paper proposes an Android application repackaging detection method based on resources and codes.Taking the resources and codes in the Android application package(APK)as the analysis objects,from the perspective of resources,a coarse-grained detection method based on R file matching is proposed.For suspicious APK pairs,a code-based fine-grained detection method is further used to identify repackaged applications.Experiments are carried out on real Android application datasets.The results show that the detection accuracy of the proposed method is 99.58%,which is better than other existing methods,and has a faster detection speed,which is suitable for large-scale application repackaging detection.
