Deobfuscation taking too long #4

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

I am trying to do an audit for an app the deobfuscation phase is taking too long....More that five minutes. Whats the best way to do a minimalist and quick audit?

Deobfuscation relies on http://www.apk-deguard.com/ which is actually quite fast compared some of the other deobfuscation tools i sampled, which took upto an hr and more.

Something to also note is that the process takes longer, if the app is huge in size or has many files that need to be deobfuscated and mapped. Given that this functionality is highly dependent on reliable internet connectivity, be sure that you have a stable internet connection before using it.
