In this paper, a detection technique of smishing using a TaintDroid is suggested. Suggesting system detects malicious acts by transmitting a URL to the TaintDroid server and installing a relevant application to a virtual device of the TaintDroid server, when a smartphone user receives a text message including the URL suspected as a smishing. Through this we want to distinguish an application that can not install because of suspicion of a smishing in an actual smartphone whether said application is malicious application or not by testing with the virtual device of said system. The detection technique of a smishing using the TaintDroid suggested in this paper is possible to detect in a new form a smishing with a text message and to identifying which application it is through analysis of results from a user.
