If you want to look at the Android APK, you can use apktool to get back Java source. Hacked clients like WhatsApp+ even build new derivative products using that output, and spammers do it to get code they can use to inject messages onto the network without having to write their own software.
I think it's great when people further verify WhatsApp's client security, please share your analysis!
- danjoc 10y agoThank you for your tip and contributions to open signal. I appreciate that you want to get encryption into as many hands as possible, even if circumstances may not be ideal. My primary concern here is a long con. Everything is probably okay now, but after a while, people will stop looking and verifying. With WhatsApp keeping source closed, it makes that period of time shorter, I think. I will try to work your suggestion into my job :) If I'm paid to do it, I can keep doing it indefinitely, even working on tools to automate it.
