Description
Hi,
When analyzing apk/java files, we noticed that QARK did not raise the alert about insecure parameters.
```
Cipher.getInstance(“des”);
```
Reporting this since in your readme you mention that “Weak or improper cryptography use” is attempted to be found.
Using QARK version 4.0.0
Using Python version 3.5.2
Using OpenJDK version 1.8.0_232 64 bit
Running on Ubuntu: 18.04 Kernel: 4.4.0-174-generic

Start with the README section describing “Weak or improper cryptography use” and compare its wording with the reported Cipher.getInstance("des") example. Update the description to accurately state the detection behavior and scope, then verify that the example and QARK version details are represented correctly.
