Hello!

I am a research student working on Android Security. I have been reading some research papers related to android malwares and all the research papers mention that most of the malware is developed by "repackaging" a benign binary. There have also been research papers to detect repackaged applications. Could someone please tell me what is .apk file repackaging (binary repackaging). Also how can I repackage .apk files? Since they are binary files any modification done to them could break the application.

Any links etc. which explain how to perform .apk file repackaging will also be very good.


Thanks
