Droid Dowser: an APK information gathering system using headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API

摘要

With rising popularization of Android application, more sophisticated methodology is required for inspect information flow based on large scale application analysis. Unfortunately, many APK files are distributed in dynamic web page. In this paper we propose more interactive information gathering technique using headless WebKit. Navigation scripting with JavaScript enables more interactive web page crawling in order to fetch the results after dynamic web page loading. In experiment, we have retrieved most of APKs in reasonable computing time for fetching files with scriptable API.
