appxploit target.apk -v

# Quick scan (skip deep analysis)
appxploit target.apk --quick

# Suppress banner
appxploit target.apk --no-banner
```

### Example Output

- `android:allowBackup="true"`
- `android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"`
- Old target SDK versions

- Exported content providers
- Exported services and receivers
- Deep link injection risks

### Secret Exposure

2. **Intelligence** → Fingerprint, classify, estimate risk
3. **Static Analysis** → Parse manifest, analyze components
4. **Discovery** → Decompile with jadx, find secrets/APIs
5. **Reasoning** → Detect vulnerabilities, score findings
6. **Correlation** → Chain findings into exploit paths
7. **Filtering** → Remove noise, prioritize high-impact
8. **Reporting** → Generate professional report

## 🎓 Methodology

AppXploit uses intelligent reasoning over brute-force scanning:

### Vulnerability Scoring Formula

```
Score = Reachability × Control × Impact × Exploitability × 100
```

- **Reachability**: Can attacker reach this? (exported components, deep links)
- **Control**: Can attacker manipulate input?
- **Impact**: What's the business impact? (data leak, auth bypass)
- **Exploitability**: How easy to exploit? (PoC complexity)

### Noise Filtering

- Prioritizes exploit chains (highest value)
- Filters low-impact findings
- Focuses on business-critical vulnerabilities
- Removes common false positives
