Hi,

I want to reverse engineer api of an Android app to make a custom client that works on linux. I have good understanding of Linux, Networking and coding.

Where should I start? Is it too hard?

    Yeah, that’s where I’d start. I have no idea how easy it would be to make heads or tails of it. I guess best case it’s all plaintext JSON.

      Hardest part will probably be getting around encryption. At least when I tried something like this in the past, just installing a system wide self-signed root cert was not enough as the acceptable certificate was embedded in the app and it didn’t use the system certificate store.
