Systems and methods for improving application analysis

Abstract:

The disclosed computer-implemented method for improving application analysis may include (i) configuring a computing environment to execute an application such that the computing environment spoofs a simulated geolocation that is detected by the application, (ii) performing a dynamic analysis of how the application behaves within the simulated geolocation, and (iii) generating a holistic security analysis of the application based on both a result of the dynamic analysis performed for the simulated geolocation and an additional result of at least one additional dynamic analysis performed for a second geolocation that is distinct from the simulated geolocation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
