Detection of mobile keyloggers using deep learning

Abstract

Keylogger is a tool which is used to record every keystroke made on the machine. It is used for gaining sensitive information without the knowledge of the owner by the attacker or any cybercriminal. By identifying the keyloggers we can prevent huge amount of data loss including sensitive information like personal details, credit card data, login credentials, passwords of any online banking and e-commerce websites, etc. The Keyloggers intrude our privacy by keeping track of the websites we visit, media files opened, passwords we type on the website. The deep learning algorithm gradient descent is used for detecting mobile keyloggers in the APK files.
