A researcher at Qualys has released a new tool designed to allow users even non-technical ones to evaluate the security and behaviors of the apps installed on their Android devices, Known as the Android Security Evaluation Framework.
Android Security Evaluation Framework – A S E F is designed and developed to simulate the entire lifecycle of an Android application in an automated virtual environment to collect behavioral data and perform security evaluations automatically over ‘n’ number of apps.
Android Security Evaluation Framework (ASEF) performs this analysis while alerting you about other possible issues. It will make you aware of unusual activities of your apps, will expose vulnerable components and help narrow down suspicious apps for further manual research.
ASEF is an Open Source tool for scanning Android Devices for security evaluation. Users will gain access to security aspects of android apps by using this tool with its default settings. An advanced user can fine-tune this, expand upon this idea by easily integrating more test scenarios, or even find patterns out of the data it already collects. ASEF will provide automated application testing and facilitate a plug and play kind of environment to keep up with the dynamic field of Android Security.
