Tools and program to scrape through android apps and determine information about them

Usage

Note: In order to use this application, you will need a path to the uncompressed android app directory using our Android Decompiler.

There are two main ways to run this:

• Single mode
• Batch mode

Single Run Mode

So you may use it directly from command line

python Driver.py path/to/uncompressedapk

Or you can use it as a python module

import Driver

analyze_app("/path/to/uncompressedapk")

Batch Mode

Batch mode allows you to run the analyses on a large body of apps. Used for mass information gathering.

python BatchRun.py /path/to/apks /path/to/file/with/apknames.txt /path/to/decompiler.sh [SKIP_VAL]

Parameter Explanations:

• /path/to/apks: is the directory path to where all the apks are located
• /path/to/file/with/apknames.txt: is a path to a file which has each name of app to analyze per line
• /path/to/decompiler: this is the path to the decomipler we provide.
• SKIP_VAL: (Optional) a number of number of apps to skip when going through them. (i.e. SKIP_VAL = 5 would ignore the first 5 apks and continue analyzing on the 6th one).

Dependencies

• MySQL Connector for Python. (Useful installation guide)
