trueseeing is a fast, accurate and resillient vulnerabilities scanner for Android apps. It operates on Android Packaging File (APK) and outputs a comprehensive report in HTML. It doesn’t matter if the APK is obfuscated or not.

Since it is an early beta stage we provide it as a service; this is the reference API client implementation. Once it goes stable we will release it with complete implementation – please look forward to it.

Capability

Currently trueseeing can detect the following class of vulnerabilities:

  • Improper Platform Usage (M1)

    • Debuggable

    • Inadvent publishing of Activities, Services, ContentProviders, BroadcastReceivers

  • Insecure Data (M2)

    • Backupable (i.e. suspectible to the backup attack)

    • Insecure file permissions

    • Logging

  • Insecure Commnications (M3)

    • Lack of pinning (i.e. suspictible to the TLS interception attack)

    • Use of cleartext HTTP

    • Tamperable WebViews

  • Insufficient Cryptography (M5)

    • Hardcoded passphrase/secret keys

    • Vernum ciphers with static keys

    • Use of the ECB mode

  • Client Code Quality Issues (M7)

    • Reflectable WebViews (i.e. XSSs in such views should be escalatable to remote code executions via JS reflection)

    • Usage of insecure policy on mixed contents

  • Code Tampering (M8)

    • Hardcoded certificates

  • Reverse Engineering (M9)

    • Lack of obfuscation

Usage

The following command line is sufficient to scan a APK (target.apk):

$ trueseeing /path/to/target.apk > report.html
