This program auto-reverse-engineers Android applications, rips out sensitive

API calls, replaces them with spoofed/inert data, then rebuilds the

application.  Root access is not necessary.  It is licensed under the

GNU Public License version 2.

Installation (for Ubuntu 12.04LTS / Linux Mint 13LTS):

   1.)  Install Python and Java:

        # apt-get install python openjdk-7-jdk

   2.)  Install the Android SDK from:

        .  Ensure the 'aapt',

        'keytool', 'jarsigner', and 'zipalign' tools are in your PATH by adding

        the 'sdk/tools' and 'sdk/platform-tools' directories to your

        PATH variable.

   3.)  (Optional) Download the latest version of apktool from:

        .  Extract it, and place

        'apktool.jar' in the same directory as AppTroller.py.  If you don't

        do this, you will be prompted to automatically download and install

        apktool when you run AppTroller.py.

Basic example:

    python AppTroller.py EvilApp.apk CleanedEvilApp.apk

... where "EvilApp.apk" is the name of the original application and

"CleanedEvilApp.apk" is the output.

Example #2:

    python AppTroller.py -c alternate.cfg -k EvilApp.apk CleanedEvilApp.apk

... where "-c alternate.cfg" specifies an alternate configuration file (the

default is troll.cfg).  Individual permissions can be enabled or disabled

in these files.

The "-k" option keeps (hence the 'k') the original and modified disassembled

sources, along with the diff file for manual analysis.
