BareDroid is a scalable bare-metal malware-analysis platform for Android devices, the first infrastructure of this kind.

##Rationale of the approach

To analyze potentially-malicious Android apps at scale, security researchers have developed a variety of virtualized analysis environments, such as Andrubis, Google's Bouncer. Virtualized environments are the go-to choice because they are inherently scalable.

Researchers have recently evaluated virtualized Android analysis environments [1], and they have found more than 10,000 detection heuristics that an app can use to detect emulated environment.
