APKpatcher/PyAxml
Support tool to manipulate APK and AXML file
The Apkpatcher and pyaxml tools suite is used to analyze, unpack and pack APKs (the Android file format for applications) and also AXML and ARSC files used inside these packages to store data and metadata.
The core strategy is to be able to have a simple and modular way to manipulate these three formats for security reasons: to audit parsers, to audit applications (thanks to some features added to sniff the traffic or automatize some test directly by injecting code inside the APK) or to remove some trackers from an APK for privacy reasons. A code sharing website is planned, so users can share patches to remove trackers and keep control over their devices.
