A flow, context and object-sensitive inter-procedural static analysis tool for misuse detection of AsyncTask

Obtaining AsyncDetector

You can download AsyncDetector from https://github.com/pangeneral/AsyncDetector/releases

How to run AsyncDetector

Before running AsyncDetector, we should set its running parameters in configuration file.

At first, we build an empty directory called configure under the same directory of asyncdetector.jar. Then we create a file path_configuration.txt under configure.

In path_configuration.txt, we should set three parameters: the root directory of apk under analysis (apkBasePath), the root directory of jimple file generated by our tool (jimpleBasePath) and the android platform path (androidPath).

An example of path_configuration.txt is as following:

apkBasePath test-apk  
jimpleBasePath jimple\\test-apk
androidPath D:\\download\\soot-path\\android-platforms-master\\

Obviously, the root directory of apk under analysis is test-apk, the root directory of jimple file is jimple\test-apk and the android platform path is D:\\download\\soot-path\\android-platforms-master\\.

After configuration, we can apply AsyncDetector by a simple command line instruction:

java -jar asyncdetector.jar APK_NAME

APK_NAME is the apk that you want to analyze. For example, "weixin.apk".
