AREsoft-updater Released

Hi everyone and Eid Mubarak to my Muslim friends.

If you haven’t heard about A.R.E. yet, it is basically The Android Reverse Engineering (A.R.E.) Virtual Machine that combines the latest Android malware analysis tools in a readily accessible toolbox.

Tools currently found on A.R.E. are:

• Androguard
• Android sdk/ndk
• APKInspector
• Apktool
• Axmlprinter
• Ded
• Dex2jar
• DroidBox
• Jad
• Smali/Baksmali

A github repo created by the A.R.E maintainer for easy installation and update, however the rapid development of each individual project above, does not sync with the update of the A.R.E github repo. This is why AREsoft-updater was created.

AREsoft-updater is an updater script for Android Reverse Engineering Software belongs to ARE VM from the Honeynet Project

AREsoft-updater will check for the latest available version of each individual project/tool listed above and compare it with the local (installed) version in A.R.E. If newer version is available, AREsoft-updater will automatically download and install the update for your A.R.E

AREsoft-updater also support the latest (recently released) DroidBox for Android 2.3 and APIMonitor

AREsoft-updater will require curl to work. Kindly install curl in your A.R.E virtual machine

AREsoft-updater is released under WTFPL (Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License) at my github https://github.com/xanda/AREsoft-updater

Thanks
