Description: Android Malware (Analysis | Scoring System)
Quark-Engine is a full-featured Android analysis framework written in
Python for hunting threat intelligence inside the APK, DEX files.
Since it is rule-based, you can use the ones built-in or customize as
needed.
With ideas decoded from criminal law, Quark-Engine has its unique
angles for Android analysis. A Dalvik bytecode loader has been developed
that has tainted analysis inside but also defeats the obfuscation
techniques used against reverse engineering. And surprisingly,
the loader matches perfectly the design of the malware scoring
system.
Quark-Engine is very easy to use and also provides flexible output
formats. There are three types of output reports: detail report, call
graph, and summary report. With these reports in mind, you can get an
overview of the high-risk behavior inside Android within seconds.
Also, by integrating with other Android analysis tools such as
Ghidra, APKLAB, Jadx, Quark-Engine can greatly improve the efficiency
of reverse engineers.
