Requires the 010 Editor application (paid software) to use the templates and scripts.
This repository is a personal collection of scripts and templates for use with 010 Editor, a specialized tool for inspecting and editing binary files. The creator built these to help analyze and reverse-engineer Android apps, so if you've ever needed to dig into the internal structure of an Android package (APK) or a compiled Android bytecode file (DEX), this collection aims to make that easier. 010 Editor lets you open any file and view its raw data, but on its own, that data looks like a wall of numbers and letters. Templates and scripts act like translation layers: they tell the editor how to interpret the bytes, so instead of staring at raw hex values, you see labeled sections, fields, and structures, essentially a readable map of the file's internal layout. The templates here focus on formats common in Android, including APK, JAR, ZIP, and DEX files. The primary audience is people doing Android security research, malware analysis, or reverse engineering. For example, if you're investigating how a suspicious app works or trying to understand the structure of an Android game's save file, these templates help you parse those files quickly instead of writing your own parsing logic from scratch. The project is a small, personal effort rather than a polished product. The author notes that everything has only been tested on the macOS version of 010 Editor, so results on Windows or Linux may vary. He also actively encourages feedback, if you run into a file that a template fails to parse correctly, you can report it as an issue or email him directly, ideally with the problematic file attached so he can investigate and fix it.
A collection of templates and scripts for 010 Editor that help you inspect and reverse-engineer Android binary files like APK and DEX by showing labeled structures instead of raw hex data.
