In this chapter, we have installed the tools necessary to do security assessments for Android mobile applications and services. We have installed static tools such as JD-GUI and dex2jar, which help us to do static analysis without running the app, and we have also managed to install Dynamic Analysis tools such as Frida and emulators, which will help us with dynamic analysis when the app is running.

In the next chapter, we will discuss the concept of Android rooting.
