Usage

Basically,

$ python apkleaks.py -f ~/path/to/file.apk

Options

usage: apkleaks [-h] -f FILE [-o OUTPUT] [-p PATTERN]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FILE, --file FILE APK file to scanning
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
Write to file results (NULL will be saved into random
file)
-p PATTERN, --pattern PATTERN

In general, if you don’t provide -o argument, then it will generate results file automatically.

Custom patterns can be added with the following flag --pattern /path/to/rules.json to provide sensitive search rules in the JSON file format. For example,

// rules.json
{
  "Amazon AWS Access Key ID": "AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16}",
  ...
