Problem: Cybercrime in Android
Problem: Cybercrime in Google Play
OSINT (Open Source Intelligence)
• OSINT is the art and science of creating
ethical, evidence-based decision support using
only open sources and methods, legal and
ethical in every respect.
– Big data to store & process
– Analytic toolkits to detect patterns and
anomalies
• Beyond that, OSINT is all about humans-
analysts who can think, and deciders who can
listen.
Robert David Steele on OSINT - 2014
Tacyt
• Goal: Build an OSINT platform
–Android Markets
• Google Play Included
• Process all data related to apps &
markets
–Build up a Big Data
–Build a real time processing tool for analyst
–Create connections to other security tools
Tacyt
• Real Time integration of apps
• Real Time processing of filters
• Interactive Console
• Cross-Market analysis
• Cross-Time results (Dead apps)
• API

Tacyt
• Apply some intelligence to the way attackers
work on Google Play. Anomalies & Singularities.
• Do not concentrate on DETECTING, but on
CORRELATING data. Detecting is difficult, but
once you know your enemy and with the right
amount of information and data, correlating is
easy.
• We try to find singularities
• Avoid code. Code is a wall you go against
again and again. Attackers know how to avoid
being detected.
Tacyt
• We need to know our enemies and what
makes them singular.
• Android apps are APK, which are just Java files, which
are just ZIP files signed with a selfsigned certificate. We
have identified and dissected most of the technical
characteristics.
• Android apps are hosted in Google Play, with a
developer, comments, descriptions, images, versions,
categories…
• There is plenty of information. Almost 50
“checkpoints”.

Buying Gremlin Apps
• But…. What apps make sense to mutate?
APT Providers: Gremlin apps for
targeted attacks
• Lets find some applications that fit with different
target profile.
• These apps needs to be attractive but don’t
seem to provide a critical functionality because It
is needed that once they are installed, keep
under the radar.
• We need a rich porfolio of applications.
“Perfet” Target Apps
• How to select the perfect set of applications for an APT
once the reconnaissance of the victim has been
achieved.

permissionName:"android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
Tacyt Demo 3:
Profiling Attack - Clicker
Examples: Research and
clusterization
• We can correlate data and cluster apps:
– From an app, we can include the person or
company who made it and correlate it with
other developers in which account they hide.
– We can detect anomalies: developers
uploading 50 apps in a row? Developers
sharing exactly the same files in their APK?
Developers sharing images? APKs with just a
second of developing time?...

Tacyt
• Allows to correlate data and detect
–Anomalies
–Singularities
• Helps to search quickly in a Big Data of
apps
• Helps to avoid code in detecting
cybercrime
• Provides an API to be an OSINT and
integrate with other tools.
“Apache Storm is a free and open source distributed
realtime computation system. Storm makes it easy to
reliably process unbounded streams of data, doing
for realtime processing what Hadoop did for batch
processing. Storm is simple, can be used with any
programming language, and is a lot of fun to use! “

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Aquí lo interesante es ubicar OSINT como un tipo de Inteligencia aplicada a la seguridad. OSINT tiene solape con CYBINT en cuanto parte de la recupeación de la información de fuentes abiertas se puede realizar a través de sistemas informáticos, y con HUMINT, por que también una fuente humana está contemplada entre las fuentes de información. Esto permite ligar esta slide con la siguiente en la que se definirá OSINT A continuación la definición de los distintos tipos de Inteligencia: HUMINT - Human Intelligence—gathered from a person on the ground. Espionage Friendly accredited diplomats Military attaches Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) Patrolling (Military police, patrols, etc.) Prisoners of war (POWs) or detainees Refugees Strategic reconnaissance, as by special forces Traveler debriefing (e.g., CIA Domestic Contact Service) GEOINT - Geospatial Intelligence—gathered from satellite, aerial photography, mapping/terrain data IMINT—Imagery Intelligence: gathered from satellite and aerial photography MASINT - Measurement and Signature Intelligence Electro-optical MASINT Airborne Electro-Optical Missile Tracking MASINT Tactical Countermortar Sensors Infrared MASINT Optical Measurement of Nuclear Explosions LASER MASINT Spectroscopic MASINT Hyperspectral Imagery MASINT Space-based Staring Infrared Sensors Nuclear MASINT Radiation survey and dosimetry Space-based Nuclear Energy Detection Effects of Ionizing Radiation on materials Geophysical MASINT Weather and Sea Intelligence MASINT Acoustic MASINT (also known as ACOUSTINT or ACINT - Acoustic phenomena) Seismic MASINT Magnetic MASINT Gravitimetric MASINT Radar MASINT Line-of-Sight Radar MASINT Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) MASINT Non-Cooperative Target Recognition Multistatic Radar MASINT Passive Covert Radar Materials MASINT Chemical Materials MASINT Biological Materials MASINT Nuclear test analysis Radiofrequency MASINT Frequency Domain MASINT Electromagnetic Pulse MASINT Unintentional Radiation MASINT OSINT - Open Source Intelligence—gathered from open sources. Can be further segmented by source type; Internet/General, Scientific/Technical and various HUMINT specialties (e.g. trade shows, association meetings, interviews, etc.) SIGINT - Signals Intelligence—gathered from interception of signals COMINT - Communications Intelligence ELINT - Electronic Intelligence: gathered from electronic signals that do not contain speech or text (which are considered COMINT). FISINT - Foreign Instrumentation Signals Intelligence, was formerly known as TELINT or Telemetry Intelligence. TELINT, entails the collection and analysis of telemetry data from the target's missile or sometimes from aircraft tests. TECHINT - Technical Intelligence—gathered from analysis of weapons and equipment used by the armed forces of foreign nations, or environmental conditions. MEDINT - Medical Intelligence: gathered from analysis of medical records and/or actual physiological examinations to determine health and/or particular ailments/allergetic conditions for exploitation. CYBINT/DNINT - Cyber Intelligence/Digital Network Intelligence—gathered from Cyber Space FININT - Financial Intelligence—gathered from analysis of monetary transactions
  • #12 La aplicaciones convierten al dispositivo en un zombi, que cada 10 minutos recoge tareas que realizar, entre ellas, recoger esas cuentas falsas del servidor central y asociarlas a los datos del teléfono de la víctima. IMPORTANTE:  La cuenta de Google "original" en el dispositivo de la víctima permanece a salvo y el atacante no tiene acceso a ella en ningún momento. Cada cuenta es asociada a entre 10 y 30 dispositivos físicos de las víctimas. Las combinaciones entre cuentas de Google y asociación de dispositivos son innumerables. En la imagen se muestra un ejemplo de cuenta del atacante, asociada a 18 dispositivos reales en la India de las víctimas.
