This paper introduces Kunai, a C++ library for static analysis of Android apps. It focuses on providing advanced static analysis features for Dalvik code, such as parsing, disassembling, and code analysis. Kunai is written in C++ and emphasizes efficiency and extensibility for easy integration of new analysis modules. It is particularly useful for developing analysis pipelines for processing large app datasets.
This paper describes Kunai, a C++ library that offers static analysis functionalities for Android apps. Kunai's main goal is to provide analysts and researchers with a framework to conduct advanced static analysis of Dalvik code, including parsing, disassembling and code analysis. Written in C++, it focuses on efficiency and an extensible software architecture that enables the integration of new analysis modules easily. Kunai is particularly suitable for the development of analysis pipelines that need to scale up to process large app datasets.(c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
