The Impact Of Custom Rom Backups On Android External Storage Erasure, Haydon Hope, Peter Hannay
The Impact Of Custom Rom Backups On Android External Storage Erasure, Haydon Hope, Peter Hannay
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
The Android operating system is the current market leader on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. The core operating system is open source and has a number of developers creating variants of this operating system. These variants, often referred to as custom ROMs are available for a wide number of mobile devices. Custom ROMs provide a number of features, such as enhanced control over the operating system, variation in user interfaces and so on. The process of installing custom ROMs is often accomplished through the use of a ROM manager application. Such applications often provide mechanisms to back …
Exchanging Demands: Weaknesses In Ssl Implementations For Mobile Platforms, Peter Hannay, Clinton Carpene, Craig Valli, Andrew Woodward, Mike Johnstone
Exchanging Demands: Weaknesses In Ssl Implementations For Mobile Platforms, Peter Hannay, Clinton Carpene, Craig Valli, Andrew Woodward, Mike Johnstone
Australian Information Security Management Conference
The ActiveSync protocol’s implementation on some embedded devices leaves clients vulnerable to unauthorised remote policy enforcement. This paper discusses a proof of concept attack against the implementation of ActiveSync in common Smart phones including Android devices and iOS devices. A two‐phase approach to exploiting the ActiveSync protocol is introduced. Phase 1 details the usage of a man‐in‐the‐middle attack to gain a vantage point over the client device, whilst Phase 2 involves spoofing the server‐side ActiveSync responses to initiate the unauthorised policy enforcement. These vulnerabilities are demonstrated by experiment, highlighting how the system can be exploited to perform a remote factory …
Trends In Android Malware Detection, Kaveh Shaerpour, Ali Dehghantanha, Ramlan Mahmod
Trends In Android Malware Detection, Kaveh Shaerpour, Ali Dehghantanha, Ramlan Mahmod
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
This paper analyzes different Android malware detection techniques from several research papers, some of these techniques are novel while others bring a new perspective to the research work done in the past. The techniques are of various kinds ranging from detection using host based frameworks and static analysis of executable to feature extraction and behavioral patterns. Each paper is reviewed extensively and the core features of each technique are highlighted and contrasted with the others. The challenges faced during the development of such techniques are also discussed along with the future prospects for Android malware detection. The findings of the …
Does The Android Permission System Provide Adequate Information Privacy Protection For End-Users Of Mobile Apps?, Michael Lane
Does The Android Permission System Provide Adequate Information Privacy Protection For End-Users Of Mobile Apps?, Michael Lane
Australian Information Security Management Conference
This paper investigates the Android permission system and its adequacy in alerting end-users of potential information privacy risks in an app. When an end-user seeks to install an app, they are presented with the required permissions and make a supposedly informed decision as to whether to install that app based on the permissions presented. The results from an analysis of ten popular apps indicate a number of permissions that pose potential information privacy risks of which most end-users are likely to be unaware. The Android permission system is complex and difficult for end-users to comprehend and effectively evaluate the potential …
Forensic Analysis Of Social Networking Applications On Mobile Devices, Noora Al Mutawa, Ibrahim Baggili, Andrew Marrington
Forensic Analysis Of Social Networking Applications On Mobile Devices, Noora Al Mutawa, Ibrahim Baggili, Andrew Marrington
Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
The increased use of social networking applications on smartphones makes these devices a goldmine for forensic investigators. Potential evidence can be held on these devices and recovered with the right tools and examination methods. This paper focuses on conducting forensic analyses on three widely used social networking applications on smartphones: Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. The tests were conducted on three popular smartphones: BlackBerrys, iPhones, and Android phones. The tests consisted of installing the social networking applications on each device, conducting common user activities through each application, acquiring a forensically sound logical image of each device, and performing manual forensic analysis …
Comparing Android Applications To Find Copying, Larry Melling, Bob Zeidman
Comparing Android Applications To Find Copying, Larry Melling, Bob Zeidman
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
The Android smartphone operating system includes a Java virtual machine that enables rapid development and deployment of a wide variety of applications. The open nature of the platform means that reverse engineering of applications is relatively easy, and many developers are concerned as applications similar to their own show up in the Android marketplace and want to know if these applications are pirated. Fortunately, the same characteristics that make an Android application easy to reverse engineer and copy also provide opportunities for Android developers to compare downloaded applications to their own. This paper describes the process for comparing a developer’s …
User Perceptions Of End User License Agreements In The Smartphone Environment, Hamish Cotton, Christopher Bolan
User Perceptions Of End User License Agreements In The Smartphone Environment, Hamish Cotton, Christopher Bolan
Australian Information Security Management Conference
With the increasing usage of smartphones as a computing platform has come alongside the movement of End User License Agreements to such platforms. The smartphone platform brings new issues to these agreements especially with the advent of app stores, which allow access to a large consumer base to small or unknown developers. This survey conducted in Perth, Western Australia looked at user perceptions of EULAs on smartphone devices. The results show that a majority of users do not read such agreements citing issues of readability and length. Even amongst those that do read the agreements there is a majority feeling …
