Abstract:

With the increased dependency on web applications through mobile devices, malicious attack techniques have now shifted from traditional web applications running on desktop or laptop (allowing mouse click-based interactions) to mobile applications running on mobile devices (allowing touch-based interactions). Clickjacking is a type of malicious attack originating in web applications, where victims are lured to click on seemingly benign objects in web pages. However, when clicked, unintended actions are performed without the user’s knowledge. In particular, it is shown that users are lured to touch an object of an application triggering unintended actions not actually intended by victims. This new form of clickjacking on mobile devices is called tapjacking. Much of the research work has focused on developing mitigation techniques on web application level clickjacking issue. However, none of the research has thoroughly investigated attacks and mitigation techniques due to tapjacking in mobile devices. In this thesis, we identify coding practices that can be helpful for software practitioners to avoid malicious attacks and define a detection techniques to prevent the consequence of malicious attacks for the end users. We first find out where tapjacking attack type falls within the broader literature of malware, in particular for Android malware.

In this direction, we propose a classification of Android malware. Then, we propose a novel
technique based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence (KLD) to identify possible tapjacking behavior in applications.
