This repository is a curated list of resources related to Android security. It does not contain code you run or install. Instead, it is a maintained index of links pointing to tools, academic papers, research publications, books, and information about known exploits and vulnerabilities in the Android platform. The list is organized into three main sections. The first covers tools, which includes online services for analyzing Android app files (APKs), static analysis tools that inspect code without running it, dynamic analysis tools that observe apps while they run, and tools for reverse engineering compiled Android applications. Each tool entry notes whether it is free or paid, and entries for services that have shut down are crossed out rather than deleted, preserving the historical record. The second section points to academic and research material: university publications, books, and conference papers on Android security topics. The third section tracks known exploits, vulnerabilities, and bugs in the Android ecosystem. The project runs automated checks to verify that all links are still alive, so the list stays accurate over time. Contributors can submit additions or corrections through pull requests. This kind of resource is most useful to security researchers, mobile developers who want to check their apps for vulnerabilities before release, and students studying mobile security. Because Android runs on billions of devices and apps often handle sensitive personal data, the field of Android security is broad and active, and having a single organized starting point saves significant time when looking for the right tool or paper for a specific task.
