Use when an Android APK is packed by a commercial protector — detect with apkid + protector_detect, structurally unpack DexProtector (arm64) where supported, and triage what survives in JADX. Routes between detection, optional unpack, and protector-aware adjacency analysis.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Android protector-aware triage Grounding: - OWASP MASVS-RESILIENCE (Resilience Against Reverse Engineering and Tampering): https://mas.owasp.org/MASVS/09-MASVS-RESILIENCE/ - MASTG-TECH-0019 Reverse Engineering — Android dynamic analysis pre-flight: https://mas.owasp.org/MASTG/techniques/android/MASTG-TECH-0019/ - MASTG-TEST-0089 Testing Resiliency Against Reverse Engineering: https://mas.owasp.org/MASTG/tests/android/MASVS-RESILIENCE/MASTG-TEST-0089/ Trigger: the regular targeted-assessment / semantic-vuln-hunting flow runs into one or more of these symptoms: - `apkid.json` flags a known commercial protector - `lib/<abi>/libdpboot.so` + `libdexprotector.so`, or analogous protector libs, are present - `assets/` contains opaque high-entropy `.dat` files (`se.dat`, `classes.dex.dat`, `mm.dat`, `dp.mp3`, …) - JADX decompiles a `Protected<suffix>` Application class that immediately `System.loadLibrary` a small native blob - `classes.dex` is conspicuously small relative to the app's apparent complexity …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/android-protector-triage@sha256:4de89cbfac2cefe0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260528.572d3e5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
