The Android Operating System (OS) everywhere, computers, cars, homes, and, of course, personal and corporate smartphones. A recent survey from the International Data Corporation (IDC) reveals that the Android platform holds 85% of the smartphone market share. Its popularity and open nature make it an attractive target for malware. According to AV-TEST, by November 2020, 2.87M new Android malware instances were identified in the wild. Malware detection is a challenging problem that has been actively explored by both the industry and academia using intelligent methods. On the one hand, traditional machine learning (ML) malware detection methods rely on manual feature engineering that requires expert knowledge. On the other hand, deep learning (DL) malware detection methods perform automatic feature extraction but usually require much more data and processing power. In this work, we propose a new multimodal DL Android malware detection method, Chimera, that combines both manual and automatic feature engineering by using the DL architectures, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Deep Neural Networks (DNN), and Transformer Networks (TN) to perform feature learning from raw data (Dalvik Executable (DEX) grayscale images), static analysis data (Android Intents & Permissions), and dynamic analysis data (system call sequences) respectively. To train and evaluate our model, we implemented the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) process and used the publicly available Android benchmark dataset Omnidroid, which contains static and dynamic analysis data extracted from 22,000 real malware and goodware samples. By leveraging a hybrid source of information to learn high-level feature representations for both the static and dynamic properties of Android applications, Chimera’s detection Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and ROC AUC outperform classical ML algorithms, state-of-the-art Ensemble, and Voting Ensembles ML methods, as well as unimodal DL methods using CNNs, DNNs, TNs, and Long-Short Term Memory Networks (LSTM). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that successfully applies multimodal DL to combine those three different modalities of data using DNNs, CNNs, and TNs to learn a shared representation that can be used in Android malware detection tasks.
