Abstract: The high speed penetration of Smartphone’s in the market with Android as the leading operating system makes the need for malware analysis on this platform an urgent and concerning issue. In our project we capitalize earlier approaches for dynamic analysis of location based and other suspicious permissions and classes which can cause vulnerability. Our framework has been demonstrated by analyzing the permissions those are vulnerable. Array list will be created on the basis of the permissions and names of classes, and then checked for vulnerabilities using automated approach and then assured through the manual cross checking for vulnerability.
