Experimental android hacking using reflection
This document discusses using reflection in Android to access hidden and restricted features. It describes how Android separates interfaces for third-party and built-in apps. It then explains how reflection can be used to change the interface and allow third-party apps to access features usually only available to built-in apps, with examples of how to end a call via reflection. However, it notes reflection has limitations like performance overhead and may not work on all devices.
Experimental android hacking using reflection
- 1. Experimental Android Hacking UsingReflection SeongJae Park, Heon Yeom, Seoul National University
- 2. Hidden Android Features Unsecure,Or Unmatured Features Hidden From Developers Need Such Features On Lots Of Researching
- 3. Rooting / SystemModification ● Pros ○ Able to Use Hidden Features ○ No Limitation At All ● Cons ○ Environment Is Different With Real Market Device
- 4. How Android HideFeatures 3rd Party Application Use SDK Framework Interface Built-in Application Uses Built-in Framework Interface SDK Framework Interface != Built-in Framework Interface
- 5. Android Basic Structure 3rdParty Developer Application Built-in Application SDK Framework Interface Built-in Framework Interface On-Device Framework Binder System Process System Process Device System Process
- 6. Java Reflection ● Examineor Modify Behavior Of Application ○ Type Checking ○ Debugging ○ Test
- 7. Java Reflection ● Pros ○Unlimited Freedom ● Cons ○ Performance Overhead ○ Weak Security Available ○ Unexpected Side-Effect
- 8. Android Hacking UsingReflection Change SDK Framework Interface into OnDevice Framework Interface 3rd Party Developer Application Built-in Application SDK Framework Interface Built-in Framework Interface Reflection On-Device Framework
- 9. Android Hacking UsingReflection TelephonyMaanger telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService( Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE); try { Class c = Class.forName(telephonyManager. getClass().getName()); Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony"); m.setAccessible(true); ITelephony telephony = (ITelephony)m.invoke( telephonyManager); telephony.endCall(); } catch (Throwable e) {}
- 10. Restriction Of ReflectionUsing Hack ● Performance Overhead ● May Not Success On Every Machine ○ Manufacturer’s Device Use Modified Android ● May Not Success On Latest Android
