APK scanner configuration file

General configuration file keys

Here is an overview of the general configuration file keys. Remember that this applies to all of Fluid Attacks’ scanners .

namespace: myapp output: file_path: ./Fluid-Attacks-Results.csv format: CSV working_dir: . language: EN

Specific configuration file keys

The following key is available only for the APK scanner:

apk

This key has two configuration options:

  • include (mandatory): Paths to files or directories to analyze
  • exclude (optional): Files or directories to exclude from the analysis

For example:

apk: include: - relative/path/to/directory/ # Optional keys exclude: - glob(src/**/test*.apk)

Specify paths in the include/exclude subsections

You can specify your paths in two different ways:

  • Using a path relative to the working directory, for example:
namespace: namespace working_dir: /test/directory apk: include: - src/main/java/org/test/Test.apk
  • Using Unix-style globs , relative to working_dir, for example:
namespace: namespace working_dir: /test/directory apk: include: - . exclude: - glob(**.java) - glob(src/**/test*.py)

Configuration file example

Below is an example of a highly personalized configuration file:

namespace: my_app working_dir: ./ commit: e59607b9de3ef4c13d292705fg3da1ff0c67eb38 language: EN output: file_path: /fluid-attacks-results.csv format: CSV apk: include: - glob(**/**.apk) exclude: - src/test/test_apk.apk
