You can tweak the settings and wordlists to get a customized experience.<\/p>\n<p>The reports contain a handy tree viewer so you can easily browse through your decompiled application.<\/p>\n<p>It also contains the following features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Looting concept &#8211; Roughly equivalent to bookmarking findings of value.<\/li>\n<li>Wordlists &#8211; The application uses wordlists for finding interesting lines in the code.<\/li>\n<li>Filetypes &#8211; Any source file will be processed. This contains &#8216;<code>.java', '.js', '.html', '.xml',...<\/code> files.<\/li>\n<li>Responsive Design &#8211; The reports are made to fit on all screens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Limitations wise, this tool will have trouble with obfuscated code. If you are a developer try to compile without obfuscation turned on before running this tool.<\/p>\n<p>We have covered a few other static analysis tools, but none really native mobile-focused such as:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darknet.org.uk\/2015\/03\/yasca-multi-language-static-analysis-toolset\/\">Yasca \u2013 Multi-Language Static Analysis Toolset<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darknet.org.uk\/2014\/11\/brakeman-static-analysis-rails-security-scanner\/\">Brakeman \u2013 Static Analysis Rails Security Scanner<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darknet.org.uk\/2014\/10\/rips-static-source-code-analysis-for-php-vulnerabilities\/\">RIPS \u2013 Static Source Code Analysis For PHP Vulnerabilities<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can download StaCoAn here:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Linux:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/vincentcox\/StaCoAn\/releases\/download\/v0.77\/linux.zip\">StaCoAn-v0.77-linux.zip<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Windows:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/vincentcox\/StaCoAn\/releases\/download\/v0.77\/windows.zip\">StaCoAn-v0.77-windows.zip<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>OS X:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/vincentcox\/StaCoAn\/releases\/download\/v0.77\/osx.zip\">StaCoAn-v0.77-osx.zip<\/a><br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/vincentcox\/StaCoAn\/archive\/v0.77.zip\">StaCoAn-v0.77.zip<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or read more <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/vincentcox\/StaCoAn\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>StaCoAn is a cross-platform tool which aids developers, bug bounty hunters and ethical hackers performing mobile app static analysis on the code of the application for both native Android and iOS applications.
