In the past few days, I had some fun trying to understand the inner workings of an APK file. Previously, I had only used the legendary JD-GUI as a decompiler for some CTF challenges. But when dealing with more complex code, I found that looking at the output of different decompilers can help. Hence, I did a little research to find more decompilers that use different approaches. This post serves as a little reference on how to build and use these tools.
