Android malware has become the topmost threat for ubiquitous and useful Android eco-system. Multiple solutions leveraging big data and machine learning capabilities to detect android malware are being constantly developed. Too often, many of these solutions are either limited to the research output or remain isolated and unable to reach to end-users or malware researchers. In this paper, we propose, PACE, a unified solution to offer open and easy implementation access to several machine learning-based Android malware detection techniques that make most of the research in this domain reproducible. The benefits of PACE are offered using three interfaces i.e. through REST API, Web Interface and ADB interface. Multiple interfaces enable users with different expertise such as IT administrator, security practitioners, malware researcher, etc. to avail its offered services. A community-accepted dataset is used for testing of all the techniques to provide a better comparison of performance. A prototype of the proposed platform is introduced and our vision is that it will help malware analysts to tackle challenges and reduce the amount of manual work. |
