Use apktool for authorized Android APK resource decoding and smali-level inspection when Java decompilation alone is insufficient.
Before constructing commands, run the installed help and use it as the source of truth:
apktool --help
jadx when readable Java/Kotlin-like source is needed; use apktool when manifest, resources, smali, or packaging fidelity matters.Report the APK path, command used, output directory, relevant manifest/resource/smali paths, and any findings or blockers that affect analysis.
Use file, 7z, unzip, tar-compatible tools, hashes, and bounded shell inspection for safe triage of provided archives and unknown files.
Use binwalk for authorized firmware, binary blob, archive, filesystem, and embedded-content triage with bounded extraction and evidence handling.
Use dig, nslookup, whois, and related local CLIs for authorized DNS, WHOIS, ASN, mail, nameserver, and ownership triage.
Use openssl for authorized TLS, certificate, key, CSR, digest, signature, encoding, and protocol-material inspection inside the sandbox.
Reverse engineer binaries using Ghidra's headless analyzer. Decompile executables, extract functions, strings, symbols, and analyze call graphs without GUI.
Use when a task requires shell-level work inside the sandbox, including environment setup, script writing, code execution, running programs, downloads, package installs, scanning, or browser/tool CLIs.
