Do you think that reverse engineering with dynamic analysis is for elite hackers? Well, with Dexcalibur, this isn't the case anymore. Even if you are a beginner, with Dexcalibur your can create hooks to inspect methods or modify the execution flow. Check out this article to learn how to use this awesome tool!

Frida is a very powerful and versatile reverse engineering tool. It defines itself as a "Dynamic instrumentation toolkit". In this post I use a simple Android CTF challenge to demonstrate how Frida can be used to perform a dynamic analysis and patch an application in memory.

In this post I gradually build knowledge and show you how to decompile an application with JADX and how to patch an application automaticallly with APKLab. I end the article by showing you how to patch and app manually with apktool, keytool and jarsigner.
