A pre-configured Ubuntu-based virtual machine for mobile application security testing and malware analysis.
Vezir-Project is a Linux virtual machine pre-configured for mobile application security testing and malware analysis. It provides an all-in-one environment with tools like Android Studio, BurpSuite, and Drozer to help researchers assess Android and iOS applications for vulnerabilities. The project aims to save time by offering a ready-to-use setup based on Ubuntu.
Mobile security researchers, penetration testers, and malware analysts who need a comprehensive, pre-built environment for testing mobile applications.
Developers choose Vezir for its extensive pre-installed toolset and compatibility with major virtualization platforms, eliminating the hassle of manual tool installation and configuration for mobile security work.
Yet Another Linux Virtual Machine for Mobile Application Pentesting and Mobile Malware Analysis
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes a wide range of pre-installed tools like Drozer, BurpSuite, and apktool, all added to the system PATH for easy command-line access, as stated in the README.
Saves significant setup time by providing a fully configured Ubuntu-based VM with vulnerable labs like OWASP GoatDroid, allowing researchers to start testing immediately.
Configured for VMware hardware version 9, ensuring compatibility with ESXi, Fusion, and Workstation versions, making it accessible across different virtualization setups.
Uses the XFCE desktop environment (Xubuntu), which is efficient and suitable for running resource-intensive security tools without unnecessary overhead.
Based on Ubuntu 15.04 with the last update in 2016, meaning the OS and tools are no longer supported and may lack critical security patches.
The README notes that Android Studio 'will be available in Vezir 2.2' and that IDA Demo and Android NDK are intentionally removed, limiting functionality for some analysis tasks.
Optimized for VMware virtualization, which may require additional configuration or conversion for use with other platforms like VirtualBox, potentially complicating setup.
