This hands-on meetup will walk participants through a brief overview of the basics of Android application testing and APK reversing. The tools and techniques imparted in this meetup will introduce participants to APK analysis, mobile threat research, and mobile application penetration testing. Free and open-source tools will be emphasized while recognizing the potential role of commercial tools in static and dynamic analysis of APKs.
Required Materials: Students will need to bring their own Windows/Linux/macOS laptop with 8+ GB RAM, WiFi, USB, and VirtualBox or VMware installed. A VM will be made available to attendees for download before class.
