My B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Informatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), 2012–2016: two theses, a conference paper and an interdisciplinary project.
Master’s thesis, 2016
Analysis of Android Cracking Tools and Investigations into Countermeasures for Developers
TUM, Division for Operating Systems · Supervisor Prof. Dr. Uwe Baumgarten · Advisor Nils Kannengießer, M.Sc.
A black-box analysis of Lucky Patcher, one of the major tools used to attack license verification on Android. Its strategy is traced back to the single concept of a unary decision, and countermeasures are proposed, from fortifying the current approach to disruptive change, each weighed between security, openness and complexity.
Conference paper, 2016
An Insight to Cracking Solutions and Circumvention of Major Protection Methods for Android
15th AmiEs, Heraklion, Crete, Greece · N. Kannengießer, J. Neutze, U. Baumgarten, S. Song
Android is a target of software piracy. Application stores counteract it with license verification libraries, but even those do not stop theft of intellectual property. The paper presents the attack methods and outlines countermeasures.
The PDF follows once the first author agrees to its publication.
Interdisciplinary project, 2015
Developing a Web Application for a Delivery Service to Provide a Forecast on the Estimated Delivery Time and Real Time Order Tracking
TUM, Chair of Operations Management
Research into reliable forecasts of food preparation times in restaurants, so delivery drivers arrive right on time.
Bachelor’s thesis, 2013
Implementation of a HomeMatic Simulator Using Android
TUM · Supervisor Prof. Dr. Uwe Baumgarten · Advisor Nils Kannengießer, M.Sc.
An Android application that simulates the HomeMatic home-automation system and its XML-API v1.2, so clients such as HomeDroid can connect and interact with it like with the real hardware.
