Abstract

Students will set up an environment that makes it easy to test Android apps for common security flaws such as insecure data transmission, insecure file storage, and data exposure in logs and memory dumps.

We will use Android Studio, Burp, VirtualBox, Genymotion, and the Google Play Store. Students need to have laptops. Macs and Linux machines work best, but Windows can also be used.
