As Majority of the market is presently occupied by Android consumers, Android operating system is a prominent target for intruders. This research shows a dynamic Android malware detection approach that classifies dangerous and trustworthy applications using system call monitoring. While the applications were in the execution phase, dynamic system call analysis was conducted on legitimate and malicious applications. Majority of relevant machine learning-based studies on detecting android malware frequently employ baseline classifier settings and concentrate on selecting either the best attributes or classifier. This study examines the performance of K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), factoring its many hyper-parameters with a focus on various distance metrics and this paper shows performance of KNN before and after performing Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The findings demonstrate that the classification performance may be significantly improved by using the adequate distance metric. KNN algorithm shows decent accuracy and improvement of efficiency such as decreasing the training time After PCA.
