Abstract

Improved technology has led to significant changes in society over time. This has been accompanied by significant changes in the economy. The improvement in technology has also been accompanied by significant changes in the modeling of network-based systems. This is comprised of significant updates of computer and mobile operating systems. The development of mobile phones and operating systems have endangered essential individual and corporate data over time by making it vulnerable and prone to viruses, worms, and malware. This chapter focuses on reviewing literature that serves as guides for modeling a network flow-based detection system for malware categorization. The Author begins with an in-depth definition of mobile devices and how they have eased the spread of malicious software. Identifying Android OS as the most used operating system, Android OS operating system layer was explained, and the reason for user preferability unveiled. The chapter continued with a review of known malware and their behaviors as has been observed over time.
