# DVHMA

Damn Vulnerable Hybrid Mobile App (DVHMA) is an hybrid mobile app (for
Android) that *intentionally* contains vulnerabilities. Its purpose is
to enable security professionals to test their tools and techniques
legally, help developers better understand the common pitfalls in
developing hybrid mobile apps securely.

## Motivation and Scope

This app is developed to study pitfalls in developing hybrid apps,
e.g., using [Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/) or
[SAP Kapsel](https://blogs.sap.com/2013/10/21/an-introduction-to-smp-kapsel/),
securely. Currently, the main focus is to develop a deeper
understanding of injection vulnerabilities that exploit the JavaScript
to Java bridge.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

We assume that the

* Android SDK (https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) and
* Apache Cordova (https://cordova.apache.org/), version 8.0.0 (later
versions might work)

Moreover, we assume a basic familiarity with the build system of
Apache Cordova.

### Building DVHMA

#### Setting Environment Variables

export ANDROID_HOME=
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH
export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH

#### Compiling DVHMA

cd DVHMA-Featherweight
cordova plugin add ../plugins/DVHMA-Storage
cordova plugin add ../plugins/DVHMA-WebIntent
cordova platform add android
cordova compile android

#### Running DVHMA in an Emulator

cordova run android
