# Reverse Engineering Android Malware with JADX
## When to Use
- A suspicious Android APK has been reported as malicious or flagged by mobile threat detection
- Analyzing Android banking trojans, spyware, SMS stealers, or adware samples
- Determining what data an app collects, where it sends it, and what permissions it abuses
- Extracting C2 server addresses, encryption keys, and configuration data from Android malware
- Understanding overlay attack mechanisms used by banking trojans
**Do not use** for analyzing obfuscated native (.so) libraries within APKs; use Ghidra or IDA for native ARM binary analysis.
## Detection Gaps & Validation
