Scanning APK file for URIs, endpoints & secrets.
It's fairly simple to install APKLeaks:
$ pip3 install apkleaks
Clone repository and install requirements:
$ git clone https://github.com/dwisiswant0/apkleaks
$ cd apkleaks/
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Pull the Docker image by running:
$ docker pull dwisiswant0/apkleaks:latest
The APKLeaks utilizes the jadx disassembler to decompile APK files. If jadx is not present in your system, it will prompt you to download it.
Simply,
$ apkleaks -f ~/path/to/file.apk
# from Source
$ python3 apkleaks.py -f ~/path/to/file.apk
# or with Docker
$ docker run -it --rm -v /tmp:/tmp dwisiswant0/apkleaks:latest -f /tmp/file.apk
Here are all the options it supports.
Argument | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
-f, --file | APK file to scanning | apkleaks -f file.apk |
-o, --output | Write to file results (random if not set) | apkleaks -f file.apk -o results.txt |
-p, --pattern | Path to custom patterns JSON | apkleaks -f file.apk -p custom-rules.json |
-a, --args | Disassembler arguments | apkleaks -f file.apk --args="--deobf --log-level DEBUG" |
--json | Save as JSON format | apkleaks -f file.apk -o results.json --json |
In general, if you don't provide -o
argument, then it will generate results file automatically.
[!TIP] By default it will also save the results in text format, use
--json
argument if you want JSON output format.
Custom patterns can be added with the following argument to provide sensitive search rules in the JSON file format: --pattern /path/to/custom-rules.json
. If no file is set, the tool will use the default patterns found in regexes.json file.
Here's an example of what a custom pattern file could look like:
// custom-rules.json
{
"Amazon AWS Access Key ID": "AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}",
// ...
}
To run the tool using these custom rules, use the following command:
$ apkleaks -f /path/to/file.apk -p rules.json -o ~/Documents/apkleaks-results.txt
We give user complete discretion to pass the disassembler arguments. For example, if you want to activate threads in jadx
decompilation process, you can add it with -a/--args
argument, example: --args="--threads-count 5"
.
$ apkleaks -f /path/to/file.apk -a "--deobf --log-level DEBUG"
[!WARNING] Please pay attention to the default disassembler arguments we use to prevent collisions.
