  banker trojan infostealer evasion rat cerberus
- Accessibility-driven UI automation to self-grant permissions
  Locates nodes in the Settings or package-installer user interface by text or view identifier and dispatches synthetic clicks. This lets the application approve its own permission dialogs, complete side-loading, and intercept attempts to reach the uninstall screen without any real user consent.
  evasion persistence dropper
- Encrypted or packed staged payload inside Android package
  Extracted asset shows near-random entropy without a recognised container header, indicating an encrypted secondary payload staged for runtime decryption and loading. Correlate with any runtime class-loading detection on the same sample.
  obfuscated dropper
- Removes its main activity from the application launcher
  stealth trojan evasion
- Loads dropped Dex/Jar
  Runs executable file dropped to the device during analysis.
  evasion
- Makes use of the framework's Accessibility service
  Retrieves information displayed on the phone screen using AccessibilityService.
  collection defense_evasion credential_access
- Obtains sensitive information copied to the device clipboard
  Application may abuse the framework's APIs to obtain sensitive information copied to the device clipboard.
  collection credential_access impact
- Queries the phone number (MSISDN for GSM devices)
  discovery
- Performs UI accessibility actions on behalf of the user
  Application may abuse the accessibility service to prevent their removal.
  evasion
- Queries the mobile country code (MCC)
  discovery
- Requests disabling of battery optimizations (often used to enable hiding in the background).
  defense_evasion
