Tools:

I recommend cloning the git repos so you have the latest versions, as these are mostly beta tools.

• Man in the Middle proxy

  Capture ssl network traffic.

• Apktool

  Get smali from apk file/rebuild apk from smali.

• Smali/baksmali

  Dump smali for use with smalidea.

• Smalidea

  Plugin to be used with Android Studio/IntelliJ.

• Jadx

  Dex to Java decompiler. I recommend calling it with: JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx4G" jadx -j 1 some.apk

• Create_ap

  Scripts to easily create an access point in Linux.

Tips:

If you need to debug an application use apktool d file.apk then edit the AndroidManifest.xml file by adding android:debuggable="true" to the application section. After you can use apktool b directory -o newapk.apk to build an apk that you can attach smalidea to.
