A collection of android security related resources.

A lot of work is happening in academia and industry on tools to perform dynamic analysis, static analysis and reverse engineering of android apps.

ONLINE ANALYZERS

  1. AndroTotal
  2. Anubis
  3. App 360 scan
  4. CopperDroid
  5. Comdroid
  6. Dexter
  7. Foresafe
  8. Mobile app insight
  9. Mobile-Sandbox
  10. Sandroid
  11. Tracedroid
  12. Visual Threat
  13. Android Sandbox
  14. Mobile Malware Sandbox
  15. Stowaway – seems to be dead now

STATIC ANALYSIS TOOLS

  1. Android Decompiler – not free
  2. Androwarn
  3. ApkAnalyser
  4. APKInspector
  5. Droid Intent Data Flow Analysis for Information Leakage
  6. Several tools from PSU
  7. Smali CFG generator
  8. FlowDroid

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS TOOLS

  1. Android DBI frameowork
  2. Android Malware Analysis Toolkit - (linux distro) Earlier it use to be an online analyzer at http://dunkelheit.com.br/amat/analysis/index_en.html
  3. Android Reverse Engineering – ARE (android reverse engineering) does not seem to be under active development anymore
  4. Android Security Evaluation Framework
  5. AppUse – custom build for pentesting
  6. AuditdAndroid – android port of auditd, does not seem to be active development anymore
  7. Cobradroid – custom image for malware analysis
  8. Crowdroid – unable to find the actual tool
  9. Droidbox
  10. Mercury
  11. Drozer
  12. Taintdroid - requires AOSP compilation
  13. Xposed - equivalent of doing Stub based code injection but without any modifications to the binary
  14. ViaLab Community Edition
  15. Ijiami (Chinese)
  16. Aurasium – rewrites the android app to add security policy, seems dead now
  17. [Android Hooker] (https://github.com/AndroidHooker/hooker) - API Hooking of java methods triggered by any Android application (requires the Substrate Framework)

REVERSE ENGINEERING

  1. Smali/Baksmali – apk decompilation
  2. emacs syntax coloring for smali files
  3. vim syntax coloring for smali files
  4. AndBug
  5. Androguard – powerful, integrates well with other tools
  6. Apktool – really useful for compilation/decompilation (uses smali)
  7. Android Framework for Exploitation
  8. Bypass signature and permission checks for IPCs
  9. Android OpenDebug – make any application on device debuggable (using cydia substrate).
  10. Dare – .dex to .class converter
  11. Dex2Jar
  12. Dedexer
  13. Fino
  14. Indroid – thread injection kit
  15. IntentFuzzer
  16. IntentSniffer
  17. Introspy
  18. Jad - Java decompiler
  19. JD-GUI - Java decompiler
  20. CFR - Java decompiler
  21. Krakatau - Java decompiler
  22. Procyon - Java decompiler
  23. Redexer – apk manipulation
  24. Smali viewer
  25. ZjDroid
  26. Simplify Android deobfuscator

Exploitable Vulnerabilties

  1. Vulnerability Google doc
  2. [Root Exploits (from Drozer issue #56)(WithSecureLabs/drozer#56)

SAMPLE SOURCES

  1. contagio mini dump
  2. Open Source database

MISC TOOLS/READINGS

  1. smalihook
  2. APK-Downloader
  3. AXMLPrinter2 - to convert binary XML files to human-readable XML files
  4. An Android port of the melkor ELF fuzzer
  5. adb autocomplete
  6. Dalvik opcodes
  7. Opcodes table for quick reference
  8. A good collection of static analysis papers
  9. ExploitMe - for practice
  10. GoatDroid - for practice
  11. Android Labs - for practice
  12. mitmproxy
