Insight into Contemporary Dissemination Techniques of Mobile Botnet Clients (Bots)

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Currently, smartphones and tablets offer a wide range of functionalities such as web browsing, social networking and above all using banking applications. This has resulted in constant increase in popularity of mobile devices connected to the Internet 24/7. In 2nd quarter of 2015, the Android operating system has dominated the market with an 82.8% share, which makes it the most widespread mobile operating system in the world. However, this popularity is double-edged, including both users and botnet creators. The research papers "Android Botnets on the Rise: Trends and Characteristics and How Can Botnets Cause Storms?" as well as "Understanding the Evolution and Impact of Mobile Botnets" imply urgent need for additional research into this field. Therefore, the research described by this article includes not only theoretical study into the ways of botnet command delivering and essential botnet knowledge based on published research but also practical investigation into the field of ways of infecting smartphones and tablets with botnet clients (bots). Special tools have been developed for performing certain malicious actions enabling real testing of safety mechanisms of the Google Play. These tools have been also used in combination with other useful techniques such as social engineering and deceitful actions trying to get users to unintentional cooperation. Finally, some challenging results and security vulnerabilities have been raised by the research.
