DroidCarve is capable of analyzing an Android APK file and automate certain reverse engineering tasks. This repository contains the server and client component.
The frontend is a React application, which you can find in the client/ subfolder.
The backend is a Python flask application, which you can find in the server/ subfolder.
Installation files only work on OS X for now, but DroidCarve should still run fine on Linux, for installation see Manual section.
