DroidOrchestrator: Container-Based Framework for Automation of Customized Android Security Testing Environment Generation

Mobile systems are occupying an increasingly larger share of personal technology usage by the worldwide population, with Android being one of the most widely distributed operating systems in the market. With that in mind, testing security flaws in the Android environment has become a task of growing importance, considering that these tests should be conducted in a controlled environment. In this article, we propose a Container-Based solution for a system that creates an emulated Android device with customized kernels and Android versions. A working framework was implemented based on the proposed system, which was used to execute a case study using a vulnerability trigger as a security test example.
