Installation

To install APKLeaks, simply:

$ git clone https://github.com/dwisiswant0/apkleaks
$ cd apkleaks/
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Dependencies

APKLeaks using jadx dissambler to decompile APK file. If it doesn’t exist in your environment, it’ll ask you to download or nah.

Usage

It’s fairly simple,

$ python3 apkleaks.py -f ~/path/to/file.apk

Options

$ python3 apkleaks.py -h
usage: apkleaks [-h] -f FILE [-o OUTPUT] [-p PATTERN]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  APK file to scanning
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        Write to file results (NULL will be saved into random
                        file)
  -p PATTERN, --pattern PATTERN
                        Path to custom patterns JSON

In general, if you don’t provide -o argument, then it will generate results file automatically.

Custom patterns can be added with the following flag --pattern /path/to/rules.json to provide sensitive search rules in the JSON file format. If not set, it’ll use default patterns from regexes.json file.

Example patterns file:

// rules.json
{
  "Amazon AWS Access Key ID": "AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}",
  ...
}

$ python apkleaks.py -f /path/to/file.apk -p rules.json -o ~/Documents/apkleaks-results.txt
