Abstract: The proliferation of Android smartphones among consumers has fueled a rapid increase in malware attacks on the Android platform. Cybercriminals leverage technological advancements to actively create and distribute malicious content, posing a significant threat to users. While researchers have made considerable strides in generic Android malware detection, a deeper understanding of specific malware groups is essential for a more nuanced defense strategy. This paper addresses the critical challenge of Android malware detection by presenting a comprehensive solution that amalgamates static analysis of Android APKs with advanced machine learning techniques. Leveraging the recently introduced CICMalDroid 2020 dataset, our approach focuses on robust feature extraction, encompassing API Calls, Intents, Permissions, and Command signatures. To enhance classification accuracy, we employ a two-step methodology. Initially, we perform feature selection using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) on the dataset. Subsequently, we optimize the performance of XGBoost and CatBoost machine learning classifiers through an Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (AGA). Our experiments yield exceptional results, achieving a remarkable 99.175% accuracy and a corresponding F-score of 99.054 % with the ensembled XGBoost and CatBoost classifiers. This performance is attributed to PSO-based feature selection and AGA-based hyperparameter optimization. This research underscores the effectiveness of our hybrid approach, which seamlessly integrates static analysis with ensembled machine learning models and adaptive genetic algorithms. The proposed solution significantly enhances classification performance, demonstrating its potential for improved Android malware detection in real-world scenarios. The findings contribute to advancing the field of Android security and serve as a foundation for developing more targeted defenses against evolving malware threats.
