Behavioral scanning of mobile applications

A computer-implemented method for analyzing mobile applications for malware, the method comprising:

• loading a mobile application into an emulated environment, the emulated environment simulating a mobile device;
• determining a plurality of simulated user inputs;
• loading a user interface exerciser configured to simulate the plurality of simulated user inputs on the simulated mobile device;
• assessing malware probabilities of behaviors on the mobile device resulting from the simulation of the plurality of simulated user inputs;
• and
• preparing a vulnerability report based on the assessed malware probabilities.

A computer system for analyzing mobile applications for malware, the system comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for:

• loading a mobile application into an emulated environment, the emulated environment simulating a mobile device;
• determining a plurality of simulated user inputs;
• loading a user interface exerciser configured to simulate the plurality of simulated user inputs on the simulated mobile device;
• assessing malware probabilities of behaviors on the mobile device resulting from the simulation of the plurality of simulated user inputs;
• and
• preparing a vulnerability report based on the assessed malware probabilities.
