Description
Android has many unique formats such as:
- DEX
- OAT
- ART
- ODEX
- Other binary XML formats
We need to get a good handle on what these are and how they relate to the other formats to decide aht to do with each for the analysis. Some formats may contains the same thing but with different optimizations applied. Or in some cases we may not have multiple variants.
BANG and lief may help here for sure.
