Redexer
A binary instrumentation framework for analyzing and modifying Android app Dalvik bytecode.
What is Redexer?
Redexer is a binary instrumentation framework for Dalvik bytecode that enables static analysis and modification of Android app binaries. It parses DEX files, performs various analyses like control-flow and intent resolution, and can rewrite apps to inject logging or security checks. The tool is designed for deep inspection and manipulation of Android applications without requiring source code.
Security researchers, reverse engineers, and Android developers who need to analyze, instrument, or audit compiled Android apps for vulnerabilities, behavior analysis, or research purposes.
Redexer provides a comprehensive, programmatic interface for low-level Dalvik bytecode manipulation and static analysis, which is rare in open-source tools. Its ability to infer permission usage, instrument apps for logging, and perform detailed data-flow analyses makes it a powerful framework for security research and app understanding.
