analyzing-android-malware-with-apktool

analyzing-android-malware-with-apktool is a skill for Claude Code from killvxk/cybersecurity-skills-zh. It costs 62 tokens per session (460 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A static-analysis workflow for examining Android apps distributed as APK files without running them. It uses Apktool, JADX, and Androguard to inspect app structure, code, permissions, and suspicious indicators.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an APK's permissions and components, find suspicious API calls and dynamic code loading, extract URLs or IP addresses, and produce a JSON risk report with mobile MITRE ATT&CK mappings.
Why use it?
It helps investigate potentially malicious apps in an isolated environment before they are executed, while collecting evidence about what they request and how they may behave.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

analyzing-android-malware-with-apktool scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/agent.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

使用 Apktool 分析 Android 恶意软件

概述

以 APK 文件形式分发的 Android 恶意软件可通过静态分析提取权限、Activity、Service、广播接收器和可疑 API 调用,无需执行样本。本技能使用 androguard 进行编程化 APK 分析,识别危险权限组合、混淆代码模式、动态代码加载、基于反射的 API 调用以及网络通信指标。

前置条件

  • Python 3.9+,安装 androguard
  • apktool(用于资源反编译)
  • jadx(用于 Java 源码恢复,可选)
  • 隔离分析环境(虚拟机或沙箱)
  • 待分析的 APK 样本文件

工作流程

  1. 使用 androguard 解析 APK,提取清单元数据
  2. 枚举所请求的权限,标记危险权限组合
  3. 从清单中列出 Activity、Service、Receiver 和 Provider
  4. 扫描可疑 API 调用(反射、加密、短信、电话)
  5. 检测动态代码加载模式(DexClassLoader、Runtime.exec)
  6. 从字符串中提取硬编码 URL、IP 和 C2 指标
  7. 生成包含 MITRE ATT&CK 移动端映射的风险评估报告

输出格式

  • JSON 报告,包含权限分析、组件列表、可疑 API 调用、网络指标和风险评分
  • 从 APK 中提取的字符串和潜在 IOC
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
