Summarization

After you load a workspace, Recaf will do some basic analysis of its contents and provide you with a summary of what was found. The kind of information supported includes:

  • The number of classes and files

  • The required permissions for Android applications

  • The entry points

    • For regular jar files, public static void main(String[] args) { ... }
    • For Android applications, listed Activity subclasses defined in the application manifest

  • Hash information of the primary resource

    • The right side buttons copy the hash value to your clipboard. This can be useful if you want to look up files on services like VirusTotal or AnyRun quickly.
Summary display

Different kinds of files may have different summary content. In this example we have a side-by-side of a regular Java application and an Android application.
