Abstract
Mobile anti-viruses used mainly are the reverse engineering-based analysis and the sandbox-based analysis. There methods can analyze in detail. But, they take a lot of time and have a one-time payout.
This study investigates the permissions requested by Android applications, and the possibility of identifying suspicious applications based only on information presented to the user before an application is downloaded
The pattern analysis is based on a smaller data set consisting of confirmed malicious applications. The method is evaluated based on its ability to recognize malicious potential in the analyzed applications. This study is a service-based malware analysis, it will be based on the mobile security study.
