Dendroid (malware)

Dendroid is malware that affects Android OS and targets the mobile platform.[1]

It was first discovered in early of 2014 by Symantec and appeared in the underground for sale for $300.[2] Certain features were noted as being used in Dendroid, such as the ability to hide from emulators at the time.[3] When first discovered in 2014 it was one of the most sophisticated Android remote administration tools known at that time.[4] It was one of the first Trojan applications to get past Google's Bouncer and caused researchers to warn about it being easier to create Android malware due to it.[5] It also seems to have followed in the footsteps of Zeus and SpyEye by having simple-to-use command and control panels.[6] The code appeared to be leaked somewhere around 2014.[7] It was noted that an apk binder was included in the leak, which provided a simple way to bind Dendroid to legitimate applications.

It is capable of:

  • Deleting call logs
  • Opening web pages
  • Dialing any number
  • Recording calls
  • SMS intercepting
  • Uploading images and video
  • Opening an application
  • Performing denial-of-service attacks
  • Changing the command and control server[8]
