✅ PHASE 7 COMPLETION - Workspace Ready for 1-Year Manual Analysis

Date: Today Status: COMPLETE - Ready to begin Phase 2 deep function analysis Timeline: 52 weeks (~1 year)

What Was Accomplished

✅ Removed (Abandoned Runtime Approach)

  • ✅ frida_hook_mlbb.py (no longer needed)
  • ✅ frida_hook_mlbb.js (JavaScript hook)
  • ✅ frida_mlbb_api.js (API wrapper)
  • ✅ frida_inject.bat (injection script)
  • Status: Complete Frida abandonment - pure static analysis only

✅ Organized (Clean Workspace)

  • ✅ Created analysis_data/ directory

    • Moved DEEP_ARM64_ANALYSIS_SUMMARY.md
    • Moved ANALYSIS_INDEX.md
    • Moved QUICK_REFERENCE.md
    • Moved function_disassembly.md
    • Moved all Phase 1 analysis results

  • ✅ Created manual_analysis/ directory

    • Ready for Phase 2-5 working files
    • Created PHASE_2_CANDIDATES.md (top 50 functions)

  • ✅ Created archive/ directory

    • Archived old reports (10+ files)
    • Archived all logs
    • Archived previous approach documentation

✅ Removed (Unnecessary Tools)

  • ✅ Deleted extracted_apk_old/ (redundant copy)
  • ✅ Deleted extracted_zlib_resources/
  • ✅ Deleted apk_decompiled/
  • ✅ Deleted jadx_out/
  • ✅ Deleted il2cpp_parser/
  • ✅ Deleted arm64_analyzer/
  • ✅ Deleted jadx/ (tool directory)
  • ✅ Deleted dotnet/ (tool directory)
  • ✅ Deleted certs/
  • ✅ Removed APK binary file
  • ✅ Removed .bin memory dumps
  • ✅ Removed .pcap captures
  • ✅ Removed temp.gz
  • ✅ Removed global-metadata.dat

✅ Created (Analysis Foundation)

  1. MANUAL_ANALYSIS_PLAN_1YEAR.md

    • Complete 52-week breakdown
    • All 5 phases documented
    • Weekly checkpoints
    • Success criteria

  2. START_PHASE_2.md

    • Quick start guide
    • Tool references
    • Workflow recommendations
    • Key Phase 1 findings

  3. manual_analysis/PHASE_2_CANDIDATES.md

    • Top 50 priority functions
    • Analysis template
    • Progress tracking
    • 826 functions ranked by likelihood

Current State

Binary Target (Active)

  • File: libunity.so (23.61 MB)
  • Location: extracted_apk/lib/arm64-v8a/libunity.so
  • Status: Ready for analysis
  • Functions: 1,182 identified
  • Candidates: 826 URL builder functions

Analysis Tools (Ready)

  • Language: 100% Rust (no Python dependencies)
  • Location: arm64_disassembler/target/release/
  • Performance: 0.01-0.2 seconds
  • Binaries:
    1. deep_analysis.exe - Pattern scanning
    2. disassemble_functions.exe - Detailed disassembly
    3. full_analysis.exe - Mapping
    4. advanced_analysis.exe - Network analysis
    5. find_urls.exe - URL detection

Approach (Final Decision)

  • Method: 100% pure static binary analysis
  • No Runtime: Zero external dependencies
  • Timeline: ~52 weeks acceptable
  • Goal: Complete API endpoint extraction
  • Founder Decision: User explicitly chose full manual over shortcuts
