AAMO: Another Android Malware Obfuscator

We release our set of code-obfuscation scripts tailored for Android applications. We assume that the original application can be disassembled into Smali.

Usage

$ mkdir dir_with_apks_to_obfuscate/     # fill the dir with some APKs
$ vim obfuscators/obfuscators.py

Set the obfuscator_to_apply variable to define the list of obfuscators you want to apply. For example:

obfuscator_to_apply = [
    'Resigned',
    'Alignment',
    'Rebuild',
    'Fields',
    'Debug',
    'Indirections',
    'Defunct',
    'StringEncrypt',
    'Renaming',
    'Reordering',
    'Goto',
    'ArithmeticBranch',
    'Nop',
    'Asset',
    'Intercept',
    'Raw',
    'Resource',
    'Lib',
    'Restring',
    'Manifest',
    'Reflection']

You can choose a subset of obfuscators (recommended).

$ python obfuscators/obfuscators.py

Enjoy your obfuscated APKs.
