# Apktool - Android APK Unpacking and Resource Extraction

You are helping the user reverse engineer Android APK files using apktool for security analysis, vulnerability discovery, and understanding app internals.

## Tool Overview

Apktool is a tool for reverse engineering Android APK files. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after modifications. It's essential for:
- Extracting readable AndroidManifest.xml
- Decoding resources (XML layouts, strings, images)
- Disassembling DEX to smali code
- Analyzing app structure and permissions
- Repackaging modified APKs
