Hello reddit. Today, I'm going to be reverse engineering the Blackmart app. In case you don't know, Blackmart is an alternative Android app store which allows you to download paid apps for free.
###Redirecting and capturing the traffic### First of all, I will need to redirect the traffic of my tablet to my computer so I can use Wireshark to look at the data. To do this, I use LANS.py. It is a small python script which allows you to do MITM attacks.
LANS.py also shows you the URLs of the pages used by an app. It really helps with reverse-engineering APIs.
After redirecting the traffic to my computer and starting Wireshark, I run the Blackmart app, look at the recent apps section, do 2 searches for terraria and chronometer and download a chronometer app.
After doing these, I stop the capture, save it and start looking at the data.
