Can you perform static analysis over executable Jar files ? What I did so far is decompile (JD GUI) the jar to get source code excerpts. Is there a better way to do this ?

  • @paj28 What do you mean ? Is it a website or a tool ? Jun 22, 2019 at 7:08
  • @paj28 OK. You meant this find-sec-bugs.github.io ? I'm talking about executable jar files.... not an actual project with all the source code and all.... Jun 22, 2019 at 7:12
  • Yeah. I think it can work on a jar. If not - decompile first then FSB

Yes. Static analysis just means that you are not actually executing the software during your analysis.

Decompiling the jar file is a great way to start, and JD GUI is a handy tool to help you decompile. Now you just have to dive in and actually figure out what the Java code is doing. Good luck!
