14:05h Invited talk
- TITLE: Hacking the Hackers’ Code: Inside Android Malware
- SPEAKER: Caner Kaya, Promon, Oslo
- ABSTRACT: In this talk, we dive deep into the world of Android malware, focusing on how threat actors exploit the platform's Accessibility Service to gain control over devices. Accessibility Service, designed to assist users with disabilities, has become a common target for malware developers due to its powerful capabilities. Through live demonstrations and real-world case studies, we will reverse-engineer a malicious app to reveal the tactics hackers use to bypass security measures and manipulate this critical service. Attendees will gain insights into identifying, dissecting, and mitigating these threats, enhancing their ability to protect Android users from sophisticated attacks. Join us as we "hack the hackers" and uncover the hidden workings behind some of the most dangerous malware targeting Android.
14:00h Discussion.
