Welcome to Android Reverse Engineering 101! This workshop’s goal is to give you the foundations to begin reverse engineering Android applications. While this workshop won’t teach you the details of Android app development, Android malware analysis, Android vulnerability hunting, etc.

It will be wholly based on reverse engineering through static analysis, or analyzing and understanding an application by examining its code.

You need to prepare a notebook computer with VMware (VM Workstation) with power supply.

We will do Zoom on line for this workshop. However, we recommended you need two devices to run Zoom (smart phone)and VM Workstation (a Notebook computer) separately.

Zoom link and VM image download link will be provided 1 days before the event.

Members of Hong Kong CTF Association and invited guests have higher propriety to join this workshop. Hong Kong CTF Association has the right to reject anyone to join this workshop with an email notice to the registered audience before or after the event started.

Look forward to sharing the CTF technique and skills with you all !

What is reverse engineering?

According to Wikipedia:

Reverse engineering, also called back engineering, is the process by which a man-made object is deconstructed to reveal its designs, architecture, code or to extract knowledge from the object;

In short, using some tools and techniques, anybody can transform an app to extract the original code.
