DexHunter is an automatic unpacking tool for Android Dex files protected by app-hardening services. It works by replacing the ART and DVM runtimes in Android 4.4.3 source code with modified versions that dump the unpacked dex at runtime.
Use cases
- unpack hardened android dex files
- dump dex from protected android apps
- analyze packed android malware
- recover original dex from app shelling
- reverse engineer hardened android applications
When to choose
- you need to unpack dex files protected by older hardening services
- you are researching Android app protection and runtime-based unpacking techniques
- you can build Android 4.4.3 from source and flash a custom runtime
When to avoid
- you target modern Android versions or the latest hardening services
- you want a maintained tool with recent updates
- you cannot modify and rebuild the Android OS runtime
