This is Joint Advanced Defect Assessment framework for android applications (JAADS, original name JADE renamed to avoid potential trademark issue), written in 2014. JAADAS is a tool written in Java and Scala with the power of Soot to provide both interprocedure and intraprocedure static analysis for android applications. Its features include API misuse analysis, local-denial-of-service (intent crash) analysis, inter-procedure style taint flow analysis (from intent to sensitive API, i.e. getting a parcelable from intent, and use it to start activity).
JAADAS can also combines multidex into one and analysis them altogether. Most of JAADAS's detection capabilities can be defined in groovy config file and text file (soot's source and sink file).
JAADAS is packed into a single jar archive and I provide a default vulnerability rules file. There're two major mode for JAADAS.
FullAnalysis unleash the full power of JAADAS and Soot, including inter-procedure whole-application analysis and inter-procedure dataflow analysis.
But it may also consume much time and may not finish on machines with small memory (<16GB). Default is full-mode.
FastAnalysis usually finishes in less than 1 minute and is intended for large-scale batch analysis. Inter-procedure analysis is disabled
to achieve maxmium flexibility. In normal situations this mode is enough for common audit.
--fastanalysis enables fastanalysis and disables fullanalysis.
Command line for analysis:
java -jar jade-0.1.jar vulnanalysis -f 1.apk -p /xxx/android-sdks/platforms/ -c /xxx/JAADAS/jade/config/ --fastanalysis
###-c option -c must be provided as the directory for config files, including taint rules, source and sink, vulnerable API description and so on. If you do not understand the config files content, do not modify them, leave them as it is.
###-p option -p option specifies the android platform directory, which usually just points to ${ANDROID_SDK}/platforms/.
Soot requires the specific version of platform.jar to be presented, for example, if your analysis target has targetSDK=22, then Soot will look for platforms/android-22/android.jar, otherwise will raise error. If you don't have the specific jar, actually you can just make a symbolic at that position pointing what you already have, say, android-16.jar to make Soot happy. It won't affect analysis result precision.
-f option specifies the APK to be analyzed.
JAADAS will output result to in a list to console and also writes json-ed result to output/ directory: {MD5_OF_INPUT_APK}.txt. A sample can be find in output directory of this repo: https://github.com/flankerhqd/JAADAS/blob/master/output/92db77bbe1cae9004f11ef9d3d6cbf08.txt

}]}To avoid OOM, add -Xmx option to commandline, e.g. java -jar -Xmx8192m jade-0.1.jar
JAADAS is organized by gradle. Run gradle fatJar at the root of source directory and single-bundled jar will be generated at ./jade/build/
Each directory actually represents a git submodule originally. For simplicity I am combining them to same root directories and you can change it
as you wish, track upstream Soot changes.

This is just a research prototype, use at your own risk. The results may contain false positives and false negatives due to the nature of static analysis. Feel free to fork and pull it.
