Install dependencies

Please satisfy the dependencies first: node.js, casperjs, phantomjs. A way of doing this in Mac could be:

brew install node
brew install casperjs
brew install phantomjs

(this requires that you have Homebrew installed first)

It might be different if you’re using Linux or Windows, or if you install the packages by downloading the binaries from their respective websites.

Now cd to the folder and run

npm install

so that the node.js dependencies are installed.

There are additional external dependencies that have to be installed manually:

• Java SDK to run Java tools
• dex2jar https://code.google.com/p/dex2jar/ - download and add its directory to your $PATH
• dedexer http://dedexer.sourceforge.net/ - download and place ddx1.26.jar in the root of this project

Also make sure the directory containing aapt is added to your $PATH.

Running

Just run:

node run.js

Or you can also run the individual scripts separately, as long as the previous script has already been ran once and the corresponding data has been gathered. For example, you can run the script that inspects apps at any time, but it makes no sense to do so before you have apps to inspect!

Output

Things are downloaded/saved into captures/

If the folder doesn’t exist, it will be automatically created.
