I don't have any idea, how to perform reverse engineering, as this is the first CTF that I'm playing of Reverse Enginnering. so what thing should I learn first to perform Reverse Enginnering? #help

I don't know where to start. how should I go about reverse engineering it? P.S : I'm not asking for flag or solution.

Hello camus_,

Java (the language android apps are built in) has the near unique property of being reversible to almost the exact code it was built from. As such a good place to begin on challenges like this one are to decompile the app into a human readable form. I prefer Jadx-gui on a Kali linux install but there are also some online decompilers like this one http://www.javadecompilers.com/apk
