This 5-day course, based on Jonathan Levin's Android Internals books, delves into the architecture and implementation of Android. Participants will explore Android’s features, its relationship to Linux, and how it diverges with its own unique 'Android-isms.' The course covers Android subsystems like the Dalvik Virtual Machine, Android Runtime (ART), Binder IPC, Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), and more. It combines theory with hands-on exercises to provide a deep understanding of Android’s architecture from both the user-mode and kernel-mode levels.

  • Describe the architecture of the Android operating system.
  • Understand the similarities and differences between Linux and Android.
  • Trace the core architectural changes from Android Froyo (2.2) to Android 13.0.
  • Understand the functions and architecture of the Android kernel.
  • Reverse engineer Android applications.
  • Monitor, trace, and intercept inter-process communication (IPC) in Android.
  • Gain a deep understanding of DEX, ART, and OAT formats.
  • Learn to use free tools such as Dextra, bindump, and jtrace.
  • Analyse Android security, its evolution, and weaknesses.
