Fraud and Malware Detection in Google Play by using Search Rank

Fraudulent behaviors in Google Play, the most popular Android app market, fuel search rank abuse and malware proliferation. To identify malware, previous work has focused on app executable and permission analysis. In this paper, we introduce FairPlay, a novel system that discovers and leverages traces left behind by fraudsters, to detect both malware and apps subjected to search rank fraud. . Fair Play discovers hundreds of fraudulent apps that currently evade Google Bouncer’s detection technology.
