Problems solved by technology

[0004] This method is difficult to deploy to all devices, because mobile phones produced by different mobile phone manufacturers have their own specific hardware environments, and there is no universal source code compilation image that can be used for all devices
Moreover, for ordinary users, recompiling the source code and flashing the system image into the mobile phone is not an easy operation, and wrong operations may even cause the mobile phone to be unusable

Abstract

The invention provides an Android application permission usage behavior tracking method based on a plug-in technology. The method comprises the following steps: extracting a calling function of a permissions-related application programming interface (API) from an uninstalled application installation file, and replacing the API in the calling function with a pre-generated wrapper function; when an application is running, the wrapper function communicates with a permission behavior recording service in a system, and sending permissions-related API calling information to the permission behavior recording service; and recording and displaying a permission usage behavior by the permission behavior recording service. An Android system source code is not required to be changed, the permission-related API can be accurately and efficiently tracked, and the deployment is convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a method for tracking Android application rights usage behavior based on plug-in technology. Background technique [0002] The Android system provides some sensitive application programming interfaces (Application Programming Interface, API) that allow applications to access sensitive resources stored inside the system through these APIs. When the API accesses certain sensitive resources or performs certain sensitive operations, the permissions corresponding to these system APIs must be declared. These permissions need to be declared in the AndroidManifest.xml configuration file in the Android application installation file. This configuration file together with a bytecode file and some other resource files constitute the Android application installation file. When the application is installed, the Android system will check the configuration file, extract all the permissions de...
