About this project
Description from the program archive
<p>Quark-Engine is a rule-based android malware detection tool, However, as a contributor of both Quark and its side projects (quark-rule-generate, ruleviewer), we know that Quark currently faces a problem of insufficient number of detection rules. Although Quark-Engine has a side project for automatically generating rules, the performance of generating detection rules is still low, and the multi-process technique used in this project still has problems. Thus, my first object of this proposal is to develop and implement a new strategy for the rule generation technique to improve the efficiency of rule generation and solve the multi-process issues.</p> <p>Furthermore, the Quark team is now executing a strategy called “Quark Everywhere” which is to expand the influence of Quark among security open source projects. Thus, my second object of this proposal is to help Quark-Engine integrate with other security open-source projects and improve user experiences of Quark-related functionalities to the integrated projects (APKLab, Jadx).</p>
