The motto of this project is to identify and detect the malicious applications and acknowledge the user. User privacy and security are the major elements. The malicious apps are much more likely to share data with other apps, and they typically request less permission than benign apps. Leveraging our observations, we developed FRAppE, an accurate classifier for detecting malicious Facebook applications. Most interestingly, we highlighted the emergence of app nets-large groups of tightly connected applications that promote each other.
