Quick Command and Control (C2) Trojans

Creator and Project Lead: Josh Abraham

The following C2 Trojans are used to execute commands on a compromised host from a controlled server. C2 Trojans can use many different applications and techniques to be effective. Several methods were developed in order to avoid detection, including: DNS, HTTP GET, HTTP POST and Twitter. The C2 Trojans are unidirectional, meaning the compromised host will ask the server for commands to run and then execute them without providing output back to the server.

DNS method is available now. Additional methods to follow.

Scalable Tailored Application Analysis Framework

Creator and Project Lead: Ryan W. Smith

There has been no shortage of Android malware analysis reports recently, but thus far that trend has not been accompanied with an equivalent scale of released public Android application tools or frameworks. To address this issue, we are presenting the Scalable Tailored Application Analysis Framework (STAAF), released as a new OWASP project for public use under Apache License 2.0. The goal of this framework is to allow a team of one or more analysts to efficiently analyze a large number of Android applications. In addition to large scale analysis, the framework aims to promote collaborative analysis through shared processing and results.
