Azure ARM64 Android Emulator for Reverse Engineering
Have you ever needed to run an ARM64 APK Natively for dynamic malware analysis or other purposes? I know I have, and it's tricky when the only hosts you have around are x86 boxes.
In this video, we will go over how to quickly spin up an ARM64 based Cloud instance in Azure, Run an ARM Android Emulator on that box, and then tunnel both ADB and the device screen to your host over SSH via scrcpy.
