Hypatia

Overview

Hypatia is the worlds first FOSS malware scanner for Android. It is powered by ClamAV style signature databases.

Get it on F-Droid

Features

  • Near zero battery impact: you'll never notice any impact on battery at all
  • Extremely fast: it can scan small files (1MB) in <20ms, and even large files (40MB) in 1000ms.
  • Memory efficient: with the default databases enabled it uses under 120MB.
  • Regular scan: allowing selection of /system, internal storage, external storage, and installed apps
  • Realtime scanner: can detect malware in realtime on write/rename in internal storage
  • Completely offline: Internet is only used to download signature databases, files will never ever leave your device
  • Persistence: will automatically restart on boot/update
  • Tiny codebase: coming in at under 1000 sloc, it can be audited by even someone with basic programming experience
  • Minimal dependencies: the app only uses libraries when necessary
  • Signature databases can be enabled/disabled at the users demand

Technical Details

  • Signature databases are ClamAV .hdb (MD5 hashes) and .hsb (SHA-1/SHA-256) format
  • Signature databases will not be redownloaded if the file hasn't changed on the server (304 not modified)
  • Signatures are stored using HashMaps for O(1) lookup
  • Files have their MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256 hashes calculated in one pass
  • Realtime scanner is multithreaded and will use half of the device's core count for scanning multiple files asynchronously
  • Realtime scanning powered by a recursive FileObserver
  • Network connections will be made to the following: https://divested.dev/MalwareScannerSignatures/.hb.gz

Planned Updates

  • Option to scan on access
  • Option to quarantine/delete on detection
  • Scan files via share intent
  • Scan newly installed/updated apps
  • Option to let 3rd-party apps invoke scans
  • Custom database support
  • Automatic database updates
  • Automatic database generation
  • Client side database generation
  • Database signature verification
  • Database sanity checks
  • Testing
  • Better GUI
  • Translations
  • Scanning entire system using root (low priority)

Goals

  • Be fast
  • Don't eat batteries
  • Use minimal permissions
  • Use libraries only when necessary
