The paper entitled “Odile: A scalable tracing tool for non-rooted and on-device Android phones” has been accepted to the RAID 2022 conference, the 25th International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses.
The paper authored by Alain Tchana (ENS Lyon), Lavoisier Wapet (CNRS), and Yerom-David Bromberg (member of the Wide team) introduce a new dynamic binary instrumentation tool, named Odile, to help reverse engineers perform on-device analysis for non-rooted Android devices. Odile provides a new scalable tracing approach that we call delegated instrumentation. It leverages Android’s instrumentation module and mainly relies on ART reverse engineering. The paper demonstrates Odile’s effectiveness in tracing various app types (including benign apps and malware).
In particular, Odile outperforms Frida, the state-of-the-art tool in the domain.
Congratulations to the authors !!!
