Reverse Engineering for potential Malware detection: Android APK Smali to Java']Java

Emerge of Smartphone technology has changed the way of communication and processing the data. These smart phones can perform peculiar thing which was only limited to calling and texting previously. This work presents the reverse engineering of the Android application which is the one of the most prominent Smartphone technology based on the Linux kernel. Since it is very difficult to analyze the applications by using intermediate codes like smali, jimple or bytecode, this approach can be useful for the reseachers who work on control and data flow analysis of apps. The objective of this work is twofold. One is to identify the components specified by the developer using the Android application's Manifest file and also those class files which have not been specified in the Manifest file. The second objective is to reverse engineer all the components and classes i.e. to convert them in respective Java code.
