AppShark

Appshark is a static taint analysis platform to scan vulnerabilities in an Android app.

Prerequisites

Appshark requires a specific version of JDK -- JDK 11. After testing, it does not work on other LTS versions, JDK 8 and JDK 16, due to the dependency compatibility issue.

Building/Compiling AppShark

We assume that you are working in the root directory of the project repo. You can build the whole project with the gradle tool.

$ ./gradlew build  -x test

After executing the above command, you will see an artifact file AppShark-0.1.2-all.jar in the directory build/libs.

Running AppShark

Like the previous step, we assume that you are still in the root folder of the project. You can run the tool with

$ java -jar build/libs/AppShark-0.1.2-all.jar  config/config.json5

The config.json5 has the following configuration contents.

{
  "apkPath": "/Users/apks/app1.apk"
}

Each JSON has these basic field.

apkPath: the path of the apk file to analyze
out: the path of the output directory
rules: specifies the rules, split by ,. Default is all *.json files in the $rulePath directory
rulePath: specifies the rule's parent directory, default is ./config/rules
maxPointerAnalyzeTime: the timeout duration in seconds set for the analysis started from an entry point
debugRule: specify the rule name that enables logging for debugging

For more config field, please visit net.bytedance.security.app.ArgumentConfig

If you provide a configuration JSON file which sets the output path as out in the project root directory, you will find the result file out/results.json after running the analysis.

Interpreting the Results

Below is an example of the results.json.
