APKiD

APKiD gives you information about how an APK was made. It identifies
many compilers, packers, obfuscators, and other weird stuff. It’s
PEiD for Android.

Installing
Installation is unfortunately a bit involved until a pull
request is merged in a
dependency. Here’s how you do it:
git clone --recursive -b "v3.10.0" https://github.com/VirusTotal/yara-python.git /tmp/yara-python
cd /tmp/yara-python/yara
curl https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/VirusTotal/yara/pull/1073.patch | git am
cd ..
python setup.py build --enable-dex
python setup.py install
Without this patch to Yara, the dexlib1 detection rule will fail as will
any rule relying on string sizes.
If this patch wasn’t needed, here’s how you’d install. First, install
yara-python with
--enable-dex to compile Yara’s DEX module:
# Don't use this method, for now.
#pip install --upgrade wheel
#pip wheel --wheel-dir=/tmp/yara-python --build-option="build" --build-option="--enable-dex" git+https://github.com/VirusTotal/[email protected]
#pip install --no-index --find-links=/tmp/yara-python yara-python
Finally, install APKiD:
pip install apkid

Docker
You can also run APKiD with
Docker! Of course, this
requires that you have git and Docker installed.
Here’s how to use Docker:
git clone https://github.com/rednaga/APKiD
cd APKiD/
docker build . -t rednaga:apkid
docker/apkid.sh ~/reverse/targets/android/example/example.apk
[+] APKiD 2.1.0 :: from RedNaga :: rednaga.io
[*] example.apk!classes.dex
|-> compiler : dx



Usage
usage: apkid [-h] [-v] [-t TIMEOUT] [-r] [--scan-depth SCAN_DEPTH]
[--entry-max-scan-size ENTRY_MAX_SCAN_SIZE] [--typing {magic,filename,none}] [-j]
[-o DIR]
[FILE [FILE ...]]

APKiD - Android Application Identifier v2.1.0

positional arguments:
FILE apk, dex, or directory

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose log debug messages

scanning:
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT Yara scan timeout (in seconds)
-r, --recursive recurse into subdirectories
--scan-depth SCAN_DEPTH how deep to go when scanning nested zips
--entry-max-scan-size ENTRY_MAX_SCAN_SIZE max zip entry size to scan in bytes, 0 = no limit
--typing {magic,filename,none} method to decide which files to scan

output:
-j, --json output scan results in JSON format
-o DIR, --output-dir DIR write individual results here (implies --json)


Submitting New Packers / Compilers / Obfuscators
If you come across an APK or DEX which APKiD does not recognize, please
open a GitHub issue and tell us:

what you think it is – obfuscated, packed, etc.
the file hash (either MD5, SHA1, SHA256)

We are open to any type of concept you might have for “something
interesting” to detect, so do not limit yourself solely to packers,
compilers or obfuscators. If there is an interesting anti-disassembler,
anti-vm, anti-* trick, please make an issue.
Pull requests are welcome. If you’re submitting a new rule, be sure to
include a file hash of the APK / DEX so we can check the rule.


License
This tool is available under a dual license: a commercial one suitable
for closed source projects and a GPL license that can be used in open
source software.
Depending on your needs, you must choose one of them and follow its
policies. A detail of the policies and agreements for each license type
are available in the LICENSE.COMMERCIAL and
LICENSE.GPL files.


Hacking
If you want to install the latest version in order to make changes,
develop your own rules, and so on, simply clone this repository, compile
the rules, and install the package in editable mode:
git clone https://github.com/rednaga/APKiD
cd APKiD
./prep-release.py
pip install -e .[dev,test]
If the above doesn’t work, due to permission errors dependent on your
local machine and where Python has been installed, try specifying the
--user flag. This is likely needed if you’re not using a virtual
environment:
pip install -e .[dev,test] --user
If you update any of the rules, be sure to run prep-release.py to
recompile them.


For Maintainers
This section is for package maintainers.
To update the PyPI package:
./prep-release.py readme
rm -f dist/*
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
twine upload --repository-url https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*
