Abstract
We are happy to have assistant professor Dr. Eleonora Losiouk from the Security & Privacy research group at University of Padova with us for a short introductory course on mobile security.
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the Android OS security through a practical approach. After gaining knowledge on the Android security foundations, you will solve exercises that emulate real-world security issues. The exercises follow the Capture The Flag format, i.e. you will exploit an Android app vulnerability to find the hidden “flag”. The course covers the following topics:
- Internal architecture of the Android OS.
- Mobile app components (Activity, Service, Content Provider, Broadcast Receiver).
- Mobile app reverse engineering techniques.
- Static and dynamic analysis techniques for mobile apps.
The course will be highly practical with a mixture of lectures and challenges, and the participation in person is encouraged, but students can also join online through this Zoom link: https://unipd.zoom.us/j/81675566108?pwd=L1UzYzJWa3JJeE5NMW9lV2FjYjcxZz09.
