To foster research on Android malware and to enable a comparison of different detection approaches, we make the datasets from our project Drebin publicy available.

The dataset contains 5,560 applications from 179 different malware families. The samples have been collected in the period of August 2010 to October 2012 and were made available to us by the MobileSandbox project. You can find more details on the dataset in the paper.

We are happy to share our malware dataset. However, in order to prevent any misuse, we kindly ask you to send us a mail to @ stating your identity and research scope. We will then send you the login credentials.

If you are in academia

1. If you are a student, please ask your advisor to send us an email for the access. If you are a faculty, please send us the email from your university's email account.
2. In your email, please include your name, affiliation, and homepage The information is needed for verification purpose. Note that your request may be ignored if we are not able to determine your identity or affiliation.
3. If your papers or articles use the Drebin dataset, please cite our papers:
