Introduction️ To perform a security audit of an Android application, it is necessary to create a customized environment, which can be based on a physical device or an emulator. For most cases, an emulator will suffice. In this article we will create a virtual machine for Android in x86_64 architecture, and modify it by installing Magisk, to obtain superuser permissions and install modules, and install some applications.️ Installing the Android Emulator For the Android emulator, we have chosen the official Android IDE, Android Studio, which includes support for Android Virtual Devices (AVD). To install the IDE, simply go to its official website and download the installer by accepting the license terms. During the installation process, when selecting the components to install, we will deselect the option Android Virtual Device, as we will configure it later. In this case, we will install the IDE in our Documents directory.️ ...
