Hacking and protecting Android apps
summary
Covers techniques for attacking and defending Android apps in a cycle: attempt an attack, add a defense, then attack the new protection. Starts with basic issues like inspecting app data with network sniffers and viewing bytecode, then shows modifying app behavior with Frida and countermeasures implemented in C++, and finishes by demonstrating attempts to break the C++ protections.
