Why JNIAtlas?

Native Android libraries expose JNI entry points as long mangled names (Java_com_example_app_Foo_bar). The readable contract (class, method, static or not, Java parameter types) lives in DEX. JNIAtlas connects the APK to the open .so so Binary Ninja shows real JNI-style prototypes (JNIEnv*, jobject / jclass, jstring, jbyteArray, …) instead of guessing.

---

Features

Import APK	Pick a matching APK; Androguard reads DEX, matches native methods to Java_… symbols, applies prototypes and optional comments/tags.
JNI Radar	No APK needed: lists JNI-shaped exports, prints a report to the Log, and opens an interactive flow graph (JNI exports and their callees).
Robust JNI types	Ships a self-contained JNI typedef path for Binary Ninja’s parser so prototypes resolve without external JNI typelibs.

Install

1. Clone (or copy) this repo into your Binary Ninja user plugin folder, for example:

   • Linux: ~/.binaryninja/plugins/JNIAtlas
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Binary Ninja/plugins/JNIAtlas
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Binary Ninja\plugins\JNIAtlas

2. Python deps (same interpreter Binary Ninja uses for plugins):

   pip install androguard
   

   For Import APK, Androguard must import cleanly from that environment.

3. Restart Binary Ninja (or reload plugins).

---

Usage

Open an Android .so in Binary Ninja, then:

Command	What it does
Plugins → JNIAtlas → Import APK (rename JNI methods)	Choose the APK that matches this build. Matching Java_… functions get JNI prototypes and comments.
Plugins → JNIAtlas → JNI Radar (graph + Log)	Scan JNI exports and callees; graph tab + full text in View → Log.

Tip: Use an APK built from the same app revision as the native code you are analyzing so DEX names and descriptors line up.

Requirements

• Binary Ninja with Python 3 API (v3.0.0 or newer per plugin.json).
• Androguard for Import APK only.
• A matching APK when you want APK-driven typing.
• No external JNI typelib package is required.
