MARA is a Mobile Application Reverse engineering and Analysis Framework. It is a tool that puts together commonly used mobile application reverse engineering and analysis tools, to assist in testing mobile applications against the OWASP mobile security threats. Its objective is to make this task easier and friendlier to mobile application developers and security professionals.
MARA is developed and maintained by @xtian_kisutsa and @iamckn. It is in its very early stages of development and there is a lot more to come, in line with our roadmap. Any contributions and suggestions to the tool will be highly appreciated.
