Android Malware Analysis Platform

s—Malware for smartphones is a prominent threat to security , with Android leading the charge as a primary threat. To combat this, it is vital that the security field devote research into finding better methods of malware analysis and subsequently malware defense. As a result, initiative was taken to perform focused research on this subject in the form of an independent study. The purpose of the study is to develop a lab virtual environment for analyzing Android malware. The solution needs to be intuitive and centrally managed in order to be effective for a professor and their assistants. Work has begun on such a system, and the plan is to continue developing an environment until an adequate solution has been produced.
