IccTA is dedicated to perform inter-component static taint analysis. Since the mechanism of inter-app communication (IAC) for Android is as same as the mechanism of inter-component communication (ICC). Thus, we perform a tool called ApkCombiner, which combines multiple Android apps to one to enable IccTA to perform inter-app analysis.
In order to perform IAC analysis, the users can following the next steps.
-
- Running Epicc for each application that you wish to analyse. In this step, Epicc will also automatically build IAC links.
-
- Running ApkCombiner to combine apps.
-
- Running IccTA on the combined app of step 2) to detect IAC leaks. It is not recommended to run Epicc on the combined app instead of running each original app. Because currently ApkCombiner is really an naive approach which may cause conflicts.
