Restricted API Calls collected in the code have different definition compared to the one in original Drebin paper?

[xiong-peiyu]

The restricted API calls collected by 'GetPermissionsAndApis(ApiList, PMap, RequestedPermissionList)' function only include the API calls that are restricted by permission but have no corresponding permission requested in Manifest file. However, in the original paper, the restricted APIs in an app refer to all the API calls that are restricted by permissions in the decompiled code, the ones without corresponding permission requested in manifest are just special cases of them.

Hello, did you find a solution or add a piece of code to solve this problem?

Hi @arezoo3456, I'm sorry for the late reply.
I didn't add the code to this solution, but I found this dropbox link (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztthwf6ub4mxxc9/feature-extractor.tar.gz) which links to the Drebin feature extractor written by the second author of the Drebin paper, which extract features following what is written in the paper.

Hello, thank you very much for your answer, how can I run this Python file? What inputs should I give it to run? ‫‪xiong-peiyu‬‏ ***@***.***‬‏> در تاریخ یکشنبه ۲۲ ژانویه ۲۰۲۳ ساعت ۱۸:۲۴ نوشت:‬
