    This Gradle plugin can be used to continuously integrate app scanning using AppSweep into your Android app build process

  • We also created a Gradle plugin, in order to seamlessly integrate into CI/CD pipelines. The plugin can be found on the gradle plugin repo and on GitHub.

  • proguard

    ProGuard, Java optimizer and obfuscator

  • ProGuard is free and open-source; https://github.com/Guardsquare/proguard

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • proguard-core

    Library to read, write, analyze, and process java bytecode

  • The biggest difference is our initial goal of creating a tool for application developers rather than a security team. This means we aim to exclude information that the application developer definitely knows and doesn't want to see again, e.g. the list of permissions an application is requesting. Furthermore we try to focus on nice and intuitive UX that is familiar to this audience, enabling an application developer to be very efficient in reading & interpreting the results (e.g. easy comparison of two builds). Also note that this is built on the same core technology as ProGuard. This foundation of compiler components (e.g. our partial evaluator) and the knowledge and experience at Guardsquare that comes with it will unlock many more in-depth code checks.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
