API Reference: Android Malware Reverse Engineering with JADX Agent
Overview
Reverse engineers Android APKs using apktool for manifest extraction, JADX for Java decompilation, and regex-based source code analysis for malicious patterns (C2 URLs, SMS interception, overlay attacks).
Dependencies
| Package | Version | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| hashlib | stdlib | APK hash computation |
| xml.etree | stdlib | AndroidManifest.xml parsing |
External Tools Required
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| apktool | APK disassembly and manifest extraction |
| jadx | DEX to Java decompilation with deobfuscation |
Core Functions
compute_apk_hashes(apk_path)
Generates MD5 and SHA-256 hashes for APK identification.
extract_manifest(apk_path, output_dir)
Extracts AndroidManifest.xml and parses permissions, activities, services, receivers.
- Returns:
dictwithpackage,permissions,activities,services,receivers
analyze_permissions(permissions)
Classifies permissions against a list of 16 dangerous Android permissions.
- Risk: CRITICAL if SMS/accessibility/device-admin, HIGH if >5 dangerous
- Returns:
dictwith categorized permission lists and risk level
decompile_with_jadx(apk_path, output_dir)
Runs JADX with --deobf flag for deobfuscated Java source output.
- Timeout: 300 seconds
search_source_code(source_dir, patterns)
Searches decompiled Java source for 10 malicious pattern categories.
- Returns:
dict[str, list[dict]]- pattern name to file/match pairs
analyze_apk(apk_path, output_base)
Full pipeline: hashes -> manifest -> permissions -> decompile -> code analysis.
Malicious Code Patterns
| Pattern | Indicator |
|---|---|
| urls | HTTP/HTTPS C2 server addresses |
| ips | Hardcoded IP addresses |
| exec_commands | Runtime.exec() shell command execution |
| reflection | Class.forName() dynamic class loading |
| dex_loading | DexClassLoader for loading additional code |
| overlay_attack | TYPE_APPLICATION_OVERLAY for phishing overlays |
| accessibility_abuse | AccessibilityService for keylogging/automation |
| sms_intercept | SMS_RECEIVED broadcast interception |
Dangerous Permissions Checked
READ_SMS, SEND_SMS, RECEIVE_SMS, READ_CONTACTS, CAMERA, RECORD_AUDIO, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, READ_PHONE_STATE, BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE, BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN, REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES
