apkfile
ApkFile is a library which creates a representation of an APK composed of Java objects which can be easily inspected for analysis or serialized into JSON. The goal of the library is to provide a robust way to inspect hostile malware samples, but it's general purpose enough to be used for other stuff too.
This library and APKiD provide the machine learning feature extraction for Judge, an Android malware detection engine.
Usage
The main object is ApkFile
and it extends java.io.File
:
ApkFile apkFile = new ApkFileFactory().build('ApiDemos.apk');
AndroidManifest androidManifest = apkFile.getAndroidManifest();
String packageName = androidManifest.getPackageName(); // com.example.android.apis
ApkFile
provides objects for:
- Android manifest
- Resources via modified & hardened ArscBlamer
- Signing certificate
- DEX files via dexlib2
- Classes, methods, etc.
- APK entries
Serializing to JSON
Below is an example of how to stream an ApkFile
to JSON:
ApkFile apkFile = new ApkFileFactory().build("ignore/DroidSwarm-1.0.1.apk");
// ApkFile uses Trove library for speed. This needs some type adapters to
// properly convert into JSON.
Gson gson = Utils.getTroveAwareGsonBuilder()
.disableHtmlEscaping()
.serializeSpecialFloatingPointValues()
.setExclusionStrategies(new JarFileExclusionStrategy())
.setPrettyPrinting()
.create();
// Since the JSON is usually very large and takes up a lot of memory, stream it out.
Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out);
gson.toJson(apkFile, writer);
writer.close();
apkFile.close();
Below is the highly abbreviated output from the code above. A full version can be found here.
