Virus library

An analysis of the technologies used by cybercriminals allows us to draw conclusions about the virus industry’s possible vectors of development and more effectively confront future threats. You, too, can learn what actions various malicious programs take in infected systems and how to withstand them.

Android.Androrat.1.origin in virus library:

A family of Android Trojans designed for spying. These malicious programs are remote administration tools (RAT) for mobile devices.

They steal the following information and send it to the command and control server:

  • SMS messages saved on a device;
  • SMS messages received during the Trojan’s operation;
  • Call log;
  • Changes in the device state (incoming/outgoing/missed calls);
  • Contact list;
  • Location;
  • An arbitrary file from the device.

In addition, the Trojans from the Android.Androrat family can:

  • Make photos;
  • Record sound;
  • Send SMS messages;
  • Makes phone calls;
  • Open arbitrary links in a browser.

Vulnerabilities for Android

According to statistics, every fifth program for Android contains a vulnerability (or, in other words, a "loophole") that lets cybercriminals successfully introduce Trojans onto mobile devices and manipulate them into doing whatever actions they need them to.

Dr.Web Security Auditor for Android diagnoses and analyses a mobile device’s security and offers solutions to address security problems and vulnerabilities.
