# **BareDroid** #
BareDroid allows for bare-metal analysis on Android devices. See the paper [here](https://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~vigna/publications/2015_ACSAC_Baredroid.pdf)
## Folders ##
**backup**: used to create a backup of the device. It is a bash script which stores a copy of:
* userdata
* system
* boot
in the *store* partition (partition number 30). This is needed only when you want to setup a new device.
**restore**: used to restore a previous backup. It is a bash script which restore a) system, b) userdata and c) userdatanew partition.
**backup_and_restore**: used to create a backup and restore it. It is a merge of the previous scripts.
**setup_device**:
* setup: used to setup a device. Basically, this script creates the new partitions;
---
**update**: contains the python scripts used to manage the infrastructure.
* adb.py: provides APIs used to send command through adb shell;
* device.py: contains information about the update_manager associated to the device (deprecated, not used in the next version);
* analysis.py: it bridges the gap between the infrastructure and the experiments. For a detailed description see below;
* util.py: provides utilities (deprecated);
* manager.py: manages the command line interface;
* updtae_manager.py: it is the core of the infrastructure. It is a separate process which manages the update and analysis process;
* update_manager_device.py: represents a separate process used to update the device during the analysis;
* update_manager_recovery.py: represents a separate process used to update the device during the reboot. it is used to perform a relabel of the userdata partition ( SELinux :) );
**update/config**: contains cfg and info files used to setup the python scripts.
* config.cfg: contains the information about where to save the logs, and which scripts use to perform the analysis
* devices.info: contains general information about the devices (e.g., user, AndroidId)
## How to backup ##
1. connect the device
2. run the "./script" file (the script reboots the device in recovery mode and run the script)
3. reboot the device
## How to restore ##
1. connect the device
2. run the "./script" file (the script reboots the device in recovery mode and run the script)
3. reboot the device
## Analysis script ##
The goal of this script is to provide a wrapper between the experiment and the infrastructure, *SetupAndStart* is the main method and the only one called by the infrastructure (i.e., update_manager.py line 178). It setups the environment for the experiment (e.g., adb root) and run the experiment.
If you want to use your code in an experiment you need to:
1. modify the config.cfg file. In the stanza 'Project' put the absolute path to the code that you want to use;
2. create an python script containing the class used in the stanza 'class' of the config.cfg file;
3. define a 'run' method in the config.cfg file. This is the method used by the wrapper to start the experiment.
## how to add a new device to the infrastructure ##
1. see 'setup_device';
2. run the backup and restore scripts;
3. add info to the 'update/config/device.info' file (e.g., AndroidId); [mandatory]
general consideration:
4. device -> Settings -> Storage -> USB computer connection -> disable MTP
5. device -> Security -> Screen lock -> None
6. be sure you can install untrusted app (i.e., from outside the market)
## How to run an experiment ##
Architectural overview:
1. to run an experiment you need to include the absolute path of the folder containing the samples to analyze;
2. run the manager start script against the folder containing the apps to analyze;
example
```
./start_baredroid path/to/folder/containing/samples
```
3. the script will prompt a command line interface which allows the user to interact with the infrastructure (e.g., start experiment);
4. select option '2' to run the experiment;
5. when the experiment is finished click on 'q';
6. the results are stored in the 'update/experiment' folder.
