android-security-awesome

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. IBM Security AppScan Mobile Analyzer - not free
  16. Stowaway seems to be dead now

STATIC ANALYSIS TOOLS

  1. Androwarn
  2. ApkAnalyser
  3. APKInspector
  4. Droid Intent Data Flow Analysis for Information Leakage
  5. Several tools from PSU
  6. Smali CFG generator
  7. FlowDroid
  8. Android Decompiler not free
  9. PSCout - A tool that extracts the permission specification from the Android OS source code using static analysis

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS TOOLS

  1. Android DBI frameowork
  2. Android Malware Analysis Toolkit - (linux distro) Earlier it use to be an online analyzer
  3. AppUse custom build for pentesting
  4. Cobradroid custom image for malware analysis
  5. ViaLab Community Edition
  6. Droidbox
  7. Mercury
  8. Drozer
  9. Taintdroid - requires AOSP compilation
  10. Xposed - equivalent of doing Stub based code injection but without any modifications to the binary
  11. Android Hooker - API Hooking of java methods triggered by any Android application (requires the Substrate Framework)
  12. Android tamer - custom image
  13. Droidscope - custom image for dynamic analysis
  14. Crowdroid unable to find the actual tool
  15. AuditdAndroid android port of auditd, not under active development anymore
  16. Android Security Evaluation Framework - not under active development anymore
  17. Android Reverse Engineering ARE (android reverse engineering) not under active development anymore
  18. Ijiami (Chinese) - seems dead now
  19. Aurasium rewrites the android app to add security policy, seems dead now
  20. Android Linux Kernel modules
  21. Appie - Appie is a software package that has been pre-configured to function as an Android Pentesting Environment.It is completely portable and can be carried on USB stick or smartphone.This is a one stop answer for all the tools needed in Android Application Security Assessment and an awesome alternative to existing virtual machines.
  22. StaDynA - a system supporting security app analysis in the presence of dynamic code update features (dynamic class loading and reflection). This tool combines static and dynamic analysis of Android applications in order to reveal the hidden/updated behavior and extend static analysis results with this information.

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 (no longer available), fork/mirror
  26. Simplify Android deobfuscator
  27. Bytecode viewer
