Android Reverse Engineering

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: malware-analysis  ·  Last updated:
Decompile Android APK, XAPK, JAR, and AAR files using jadx or Fernflower/Vineflower. Reverse engineer Android apps, extract HTTP API endpoints, trace call flows from UI to network layer, and analyze runtime behavior with Frida, network capture, JNI/SO inspection, and signature generation. Use when the user wants to decompile, analyze, hook, inspect network traffic, bypass SSL pinning for analysis, locate crypto or signing logic, or follow call flows in Android packages.

From the source SKILL.md

Decompile Android APK, XAPK, JAR, and AAR files using jadx and Fernflower/Vineflower, trace call flows through application code and libraries, produce structured documentation of extracted APIs, and escalate to runtime analysis only after static triage shows that it is needed. Two decompiler engines are supported: jadx for broad Android coverage and Fernflower/Vineflower for higher-quality output on complex Java code.
