AndroZoo

---

AndroZoo is a growing collection of Android Applications collected from several sources, including the official Google Play app market.

Each app has been analysed (or will soon be analyzed) by tens of different AntiVirus products to know which applications are detected as Malware.

We provide this dataset to contribute to ongoing research efforts, as well as to enable new potential research topics on Android Apps. By releasing our dataset to the research community, we also aim at encouraging our fellow researchers to engage in reproducible experiments.
