APKiD
Identifies compilers, packers, obfuscators, and other characteristics in Android APK and DEX files.
What is APKiD?
APKiD is a Python-based tool that identifies how Android APK and DEX files were constructed by detecting compilers, packers, obfuscators, and other oddities. It solves the problem of unknown app origins by fingerprinting build tools and protection mechanisms, aiding in security analysis and malware detection.
Security researchers, malware analysts, reverse engineers, and Android app developers who need to inspect app construction for security vetting, piracy detection, or research purposes.
Developers choose APKiD for its accuracy, speed, and extensibility in fingerprinting Android app build tools, offering a specialized, open-source alternative to manual analysis with a rule-based system that's easy to update and integrate.
