Static Analysis Tools

IDA Pro

IDA Pro combines an interactive, programmable, multi-processor disassembler coupled to a local and remote debugger and augmented by a complete plugin programming environment.

Hex-Rays

The most expensivepowerful IDA Pro plugin is the Hex-Rays decompiler

  • x86 and ARM
  • decompiler

Limitations specific to ARM:

  • floating point instructions are not supported
  • VFP/SIMD/Neon/... instructions are not supported
  • functions having an argument that is passed partially on registers and partially on the stack are not supported (e.g. int64 passed in R3 and on the stack)

REC Studio

  • x86, x64
  • Windows, Linux, Mac OS X
  • HLA disassembler

Useful commands: 

help
strings
calltree
showprocs
decompile /tmp/myprog.c

click on a function in the "Project" function list to HLA disass it

Radare

The reverse engineering framework

Misc

Distorm

diStorm3 is really a decomposer, which means it takes an instruction and returns a binary structure which describes it rather than static text, this is great for advanced binary code analysis

PyPEELF

PyPEELF is a multi-platform binary editor written in Python, wxPython and BOA Constructor. It allows you to manage binary data in PE32, PE32+ (x64) and ELF binary files.

PyPEELF uses pefile to manage PE32 and PE32+ files and pyelf to manage ELF files. Besides, it uses winappdbg and pydasm in some others features like Task Running Viewer and Disassembling files.

PyPEELF was designed for Reverse Engineers who want to edit or visualize binary file data in multi-platforms. That is why PyPEELF runs under Windows and Unix/BSD operating systems

Poor man's tools

File, -z to uncompress, -s to inspect non-files, e.g. /dev/sda1 

file -k [-z] [-s] mybin

Strings 

strings [-n min_length] -a -e [s|S|b|l|B|L] mybin

Android

Documentation

  • Dalvik: bytecode, dex & VM instructions

Dex2jar

A tool for converting Android’s .dex format to Java’s .class format
See also DeObfuscate jar with dex tool 

./d2j-dex2jar.sh myapp.apk

This returns a file myapp-dex2jar.jar
Then use Java decompilers: jad, jd-gui, cf below

Smali

smali/baksmali is an assembler/disassembler for the dex format used by dalvik, Android’s Java VM implementation

Apktool

It is a tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc. 

apktool d myapp.apk

Apk Multi-Tool

Swiss knive (was Apk Manager)
Contains apktool, smali/baksmali etc
on Github for Linux release

  • 9 decompile apk / 1 select apk / 9 decompile apk

GetStrings

Small script to prepare a sed script to inject resource strings into jad, to ease reversing.
To be used e.g. after apktool / Apk Multi-Tool decompilation 

#!/bin/bash
DECOMPILED_DIR=working/*apk/
cat $DECOMPILED_DIR/res/values/public.xml|grep "type=.string"|\
    sed 's/.*name="\?//;s/" id="\?/ /;s/"\? \/>//'|\
    awk --non-decimal-data '{print $2, int($2), $1}'\
    > getstring-pub
cat $DECOMPILED_DIR/res/values/strings.xml|grep '<string'|\
    sed 's/.*name="\?//; s/"\?>/ /;s/<\/string>//'\
    > getstring-str
join -1 3 -2 1 --nocheck-order getstring-pub getstring-str|awk '{t=$3;$3=$1;$1=t;print}'|\
    awk '{id=$2;$1="";$2="";$3="";sub(/^ */,"");printf("s#"id"#\"%s\"#\n", $0)}' > getstring-sed
rm getstring-pub getstring-str

SetStrings

find $1 -name "*.jad" -exec sed -i -f getstring-sed {} \;

Example

Typical example of reverse-engineering and modding APK:

  • in APK-Multi-Tool-Linux working dir:
    • Drop myapp.apk in place-apk-here-for-modding/
    • ./script.sh (and leave it always open in a separate window)
    • 9 decompile / 1 select myapp.apk / 9 decompile
    • ./getstrings
    • Copy apk to dex2jar working dir
    • Copy getstring-sed to jad working dir
  • in dex2jar working dir:
    • ./d2j-dex2jar.sh myapp.apk
    • Copy myapp-dex2jar.jar to jad working dir (and/or jd-gui)
  • in jad working dir:
    • ./unjar myapp-dex2jar.jar
    • ./setstrings.sh myapp-dex2jar
    • Analyse .jad file and understand what to modify
  • in jd-gui working dir:
    • As alternative analysis can also be done with jd-gui directly on .jar file
  • in APK-Multi-Tool-Linux working dir:
    • In working/ find corresponding .smali file and modify it
    • (in script.sh windows) 13 compile/sign/install

Dare

Dalvik Retargeting, a tool for converting Android’s .dex format to Java’s .class format

Retargeted .class: 

./dare -d output_dir -e myapp.apk

Optimized retargeted .class: (using Soot, slow!) 

./dare -o -d output_dir -e myapp.apk

Decompiled optimized retargeted .class: (using Soot, very slow!) 

./dare -c -d output_dir -e myapp.apk

APKInspector

The goal of this project is to help analysts and reverse engineers to visualize compiled Android packages and their corresponding DEX code. APKInspector provides both analysis functions and graphic features for the users to gain deep insight into the malicious apps

    exit 1
fi
7z x -o${ODIR} $1
for d in $(find ${ODIR}/com -type d); do
  echo Entering $d
  cd $d
  for c in *.class; do
    $JAD $c

Dynamic Analysis Tools

IDA Pro

IDA Pro has some debugging capabilities too.
Local debugging: win32, windbg Remote debugging: 

gdbserver --multi <client_ip>:<port> # default IDA port: 23946

Then on IDA: select Remote GDB debugger, paths should be paths on the gdbserver host.
Tuning:

  • Debugger / options / Stop on process entry point
  • Compatible with lib preloading, cf below
  • from 6.4, can make use of Intel PIN tools for diff debugging, see tutorial (pdf)

Intel PIN tools

  • Official page
  • Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Android
  • x86-32, x86-64 (only Intel platforms obviously)
  • binary instrumentation

The best way to think about Pin is as a "just in time" (JIT) compiler. The input to this compiler is not bytecode, however, but a regular executable. Pin intercepts the execution of the first instruction of the executable and generates ("compiles") new code for the straight line code sequence starting at this instruction. It then transfers control to the generated sequence. The generated code sequence is almost identical to the original one, but Pin ensures that it regains control when a branch exits the sequence. After regaining control, Pin generates more code for the branch target and continues execution. Pin makes this efficient by keeping all of the generated code in memory so it can be reused and directly branching from one sequence to another. In JIT mode, the only code ever executed is the generated code. The original code is only used for reference. When generating code, Pin gives the user an opportunity to inject their own code (instrumentation).

Vdb/Vtrace / Vivisect

  • debugger, static analysis
  • Windows, Linux, Android

Cuckoo Sandboxing

Currently only supporting Windows binaries.
Cuckoo Sandbox is a malware analysis system. You can throw any suspicious file at it and in a matter of seconds Cuckoo will provide you back some detailed results outlining what such file did when executed inside an isolated environment. Cuckoo generates a handful of different raw data which include:

  • Native functions and Windows API calls traces
  • Copies of files created and deleted from the filesystem
  • Dump of the memory of the selected process
  • Full memory dump of the analysis machine
  • Screenshots of the desktop during the execution of the malware analysis
  • Network dump generated by the machine used for the analysis
