A comprehensive collection of Android applications with dynamic analysis data for malware detection research
Contains the latest Android malware samples with regular monthly updates
Equal distribution of 50 malware and 50 benign samples in each release
Includes detailed dynamic analysis data in standardized CSV format
Designed specifically for machine learning and security research applications
Our team collects and analyzes Android applications from various sources including official app stores, third-party repositories, and malware intelligence networks. The dataset is continuously updated with monthly releases of new samples.
The dataset is intentionally balanced between malicious and benign applications to support accurate classification research. Our malware samples span multiple categories including:
Each benign application is thoroughly verified to ensure it contains no malicious components.
We analyze all applications using a custom dynamic analysis framework that executes each APK in a controlled sandbox environment. Our system captures comprehensive behavioral data including:
The dynamic analysis process runs each application through standardized test scenarios to ensure consistent data collection across all samples.
The SG360 dataset consists of the following components:
Our dataset is structured to support different research approaches with three access options:
For researchers conducting their own analysis
Complete package with both applications and analysis data
Analysis data without the application files
