ITACS 5211: Introduction to Ethical Hacking

Wade Mackey

Banking Trojans on Android from Google Play (cross posting to all my classes)

November 11, 2018 by Steve Pote Leave a Comment

With a heightened awareness of news and a more pragmatic search for ~homework~ source material, this set off ~”that sounds like what we’re studying…” ~ alarms all over.

A bit of social engineering (free speed boost? sounds good to me!), pretense of trustworthiness from the distribution platform, a little something for everyone. All a terrifyingly direct mapping to the  cyber-kill chain/steps in a cyber attack (https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/cyber/cyber-kill-chain.html)

There is even a javascript snip to fingerprint android emulations…and how to better spoof a real device from your emulation…er, if you wanted to do that sort of thing.
