Lab 6 Advanced Encryption  Today we are going to see the solution of basic encryption post in that no encryption was used for sensitive info. The solution is implementing the encryption and that we will try to bypass the encryption implementation as some times the developers store the hardcoded encryption key in the app itself. For this you need to install the BasicEncryptionSolution.apk. Now start this app and configure the credentials.   Now app is configured and credentials are also stored as per design in preferences.xml but I am expecting some sort of encryption now as we have installed solution for this flaw. Browse to the /data/data/com.securitycompass.androidlabs.basicencryptionsolution/shared_prefs as you can see that all the credentials are encrypted. So now we go and disassemble the app and try to figure out is there any key hardcoded key in the app. You can disassemble the app by using EasyApkDisassembler to...
