Description

The dataset contains 950 Android application logs from different malware categories. Applications are instrumented by human (real human-interaction) using DroidCat Logger tool so the behavior logs highly assemble real world executing of Android apps. The dataset contains 440 malicious and 508 benign (normal) app logs. The logs have been captured for XDroid project. You can find more details on the dataset in the papers.
