APKLeaks
Scanning APK file for URIs, endpoints & secrets.
Installation
It's fairly simple to install APKLeaks:
from PyPi
$ pip3 install apkleaks
from Source
Clone repository and install requirements:
$ git clone https://github.com/dwisiswant0/apkleaks
$ cd apkleaks/
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
from Docker
Pull the Docker image by running:
$ docker pull dwisiswant0/apkleaks:latest
Dependencies
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.
Usage
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
Options
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 |
Output
In general, if you don't provide -o argument, then it will generate results file automatically.
NOTE: By default it will also save the results in text format, use --json argument if you want JSON output format.
Pattern
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
Arguments (disassembler)
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.
