Common usage

$ python androwarn.py -i my_application_to_be_analyzed.apk -r html -v 3

By default, the report is generated in the current folder.
An HTML report is now contained in a standalone file, CSS/JS resources are inlined.

Sample application
A sample application has been built, concentrating several malicious behaviours.
The APK is available in the _SampleApplication/bin/ folder and the HTML report is available in the _SampleReports folder.

Dependencies and installation

• Python 2.7 + androguard + jinja2 + play_scraper + argparse
• The easiest way to setup everything: pip install androwarn and then directly use $ androwarn
