In this project report, an algorithm is designed to find out whether an SMS message is sent out by the device owner. The algorithm is based on the writing habits of device owners and has some advantages of artificial immune system. If there is a message determined to be unauthorized sending, then there is a high possibility that the device is infected by an SMS-based Android botnet. Further actions such as finding out the malware can be taken. Meanwhile, unexpected in-coming messages like spam can also be examined briefly.
