Abstract

The ARM architecture is presently the chipset of choice for today's smartphones - this demand has spurred new advances in functionality and services, and as the number of smartphones increases, so has the number of applications being migrated to them. As a result, the amount of malware targeting them will also increase. We present our preliminary work on an ARM-based dynamic profiling platform that allows analysts to study malware that targets ARM-based smartphone systems.
