CERT Keyfinder is a utility for finding and analyzing key files on a filesystem as well as contained within Android APK files. CERT Keyfinder development was sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Installation requirements:
- Python (3.x recommended)
- androguard
- python-magic
- PyOpenSSL
- apktool
- grep
- OpenSSL
- Java
- Obtain the Keyfinder code. This can be accomplished by performing a
git cloneof the Keyfinder repository, or by downloading a zip file of the repository. - Install Python dependencies:
$ pip3 install androguard python-magic PyOpenSSLOn Windows platforms, use thepython-magic-binpackage instead ofpython-magic. This will provide the DLL required to analyze file magic.
$ python3 keyfinder.py
usage: A tool for analyzing key files, with Android APK support
[-h] [-e EXTRACT_APK] [-u] [-k CHECK_KEYFILE] [-p PASSWORD] [-v] [-d]
[apkpath]
positional arguments:
apkpath APK file or directory
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e EXTRACT_APK, --extract EXTRACT_APK
Extract specified APK using apktool
-u, --checkused Check if the key file is referenced by the app (slow)
-k CHECK_KEYFILE, --key CHECK_KEYFILE
Key file or directory
-p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
Specify password
-v, --verbose Verbose output
-d, --debug Debug output
CERT Keyfinder can be used to scan the files on your system, reporting only private and/or password-protected key files by default.
For example, running Keyfinder on the ~ directory on a CERT Tapioca system:
$ python keyfinder.py -k ~/tapioca
keyfile: /home/tapioca/tapioca/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca-cert.p12
type: pkcs12
protected: True
=====================
keyfile: /home/tapioca/tapioca/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca.pem
private: True
protected: False
iskey: True
iscert: True
encoding: pem
type: pkcs8
certhash: 902073e933d0bf9b3da49a3a120d0adecdf031960f87576947bdc3157cd62d8e
keyhash: 3aae8d85450bae20aaf360d046bc0d90b2998800b3a7356f0742ef6a8824e423
=====================
The above command line will look at every file in the specified directory, determine if it is a possible key file by using the file extension and file magic, and finally it will display brief details for any file that is determined to be a private and/or password-protected key file.
If we wish to get more details, we can run the same command line, but with the verbose -v flag:
$ python keyfinder.py -k ~/tapioca -v
keyfile: /home/tapioca/tapioca/.mitmproxy/mitmproxy-ca-cert.cer

=====================
Here we can see public keys and X509 text output for certificates.
CERT Keyfinder started its life as part of the framework used to perform my experiment to find private keys in Android apps. As such, Keyfinder includes the ability to parse Android application APK files.
$ python3 keyfinder.py com.shopgate.android.app21760.apk
Reached a NAMESPACE_END without having the namespace stored before? Prefix ID: 24, URI ID: 25
testapks/com.shopgate.android.app21760.apk distributes its signing key as: res/raw/keystore.jks
testapks/com.shopgate.android.app21760.apk includes private,protected key: res/raw/keystore.jks (Java KeyStore)
testapks/com.shopgate.android.app21760.apk includes protected key: res/raw/shopgate_bks_neu.bks (BouncyCastle Keystore V1)
test@test-virtual-machine:/mnt/v1/keyfinder$
Here we can see that the application in question includes a Java KeyStore file that is protected, and also that it includes a private key in it. Even thouth the Java KeyStore is protected with a password, the KeyStore file does not hide what the contents are. Keyfinder leverages this weakness to change the KeyStore password and then parse the contents using the native Java keytool utility. Also of interest in this case is the fact that the private key res/raw/keystore.jks contains the private key used to sign the Android application itself. Google indicates that managing your key and keeping it secure are very important, both for you and for your users, but in this case the application author has distributed it to the public!
For any key found by Keyfinder, the key's SHA256 signature is queried in the crt.sh website. This website monitors several certificate transparency sources to check whether a key or certificate has been seen in the wild. The usual reason for this is because an HTTPS web server is using a specified key or a certificate. CERT Keyfinder will query crt.sh using two sources of information:
- The hash of a certificate that is located in a keystore that contains a private key
- The hash of a public key that has been extracted from a private key
When CERT Keyfinder reports that a key is located in crt.sh, this is likely a cause for concern. The reason for this concern is because a private key associated with a certificate listed in a certificate transparency database is likely a key that should not be accessible to the public. For example, any Android APK from the Google Play is obviously publicly available. This is not the place for a private key for an HTTPS website key
$ python3 keyfinder.py apks/ireland.numt.aplykey.apk
apks/ireland.numt.aplykey.apk includes private key: assets/sample-keys/ca.key (pkcs5)
apks/ireland.numt.aplykey.apk includes private key: assets/sample-keys/client.key (pkcs5)
Enter pass phrase for keys/ireland.numt.aplykey/assets/sample-keys/pass.key:apks/ireland.numt.aplykey.apk includes private,protected key: assets/sample-keys/pass.key (pkcs5)
apks/ireland.numt.aplykey.apk includes protected key: assets/sample-keys/pkcs12.p12 (pkcs12)
apks/ireland.numt.aplykey.apk includes private key: assets/sample-keys/server.key (pkcs5)
apks/ireland.numt.aplykey.apk key assets/sample-keys/server.key is listed in crt.sh: https://crt.sh/?spkisha256=493f34228ad3179e2dad25a392acae4d2dcaebcf633240a9df9d7f4413c4e681
$
Here we can see that the file assets/sample-keys/server.key is listed in crt.sh as: https://crt.sh/?spkisha256=493f34228ad3179e2dad25a392acae4d2dcaebcf633240a9df9d7f4413c4e681. Because this query is for a public key hash, rather than a certificate itself, we need to click through to any of the seen certificates to get details about what the private key may be used for. By clicking through to https://crt.sh/?id=35604116, we can see that the certificate was issued by Comodo CA Limited for the domain names oxsv.meta-level.de and www.oxsv.meta-level.de. Because this certificate expired in 2013, this issue is perhaps not terribly important. However, one might wonder how the private key assets/sample-keys/server.key ended up in a publicly-released Android application, and also was used by a publicly-available server. The impact of such a key leak may depend on how the server in question is being used.
Keyfinder includes another capability that can help to determine the functionality of a key used by an Android application. By using the -u option, Keyfinder will extract the APK contents using apktool and then check for APK contents that reference that key file. For example:
$ python3 keyfinder.py apks/by_sha256/06/14/49/06144936809844bcb120d360ecc148679e33fd013c2bdac8bd9d7b63d71a57a4/tntapp.trinitymember.apk -u

res/raw/sm_private is referenced by extracted/tntapp.trinitymember/smali/tntapp/trinitymember/R$raw.smali
res/raw/sm_private is referenced by extracted/tntapp.trinitymember/res/values/public.xml
apks/by_sha256/06/14/49/06144936809844bcb120d360ecc148679e33fd013c2bdac8bd9d7b63d71a57a4/tntapp.trinitymember.apk includes private key: res/raw/sm_private (pkcs5)
Here we can see that the Anrdoid code R$raw.smali makes reference to the sm_private key file. If we look at the R$raw.smali file, we can see one reference to sm_private:
.field public static final sm_private:I = 0x7f060001
If we look for 0x7f060001 in the application's code, we can see that it's referenced in smali/tntapp/trinitymember/model/RSA.smali
const v18, 0x7f060001
invoke-virtual/range {v17 .. v18}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->openRawResource(I)Ljava/io/InputStream;
move-result-object v7
.line 114
.local v7, "is":Ljava/io/InputStream;
new-instance v3, Ljava/io/BufferedReader;
new-instance v17, Ljava/io/InputStreamReader;
const-string v18, "UTF-8"
move-object/from16 v0, v17
move-object/from16 v1, v18
...
smali code isn't too pretty to look at, so we can decompile the code into Java, which is a little more readable:
public static byte[] decryptRSA(Context arg20, String arg21) throws Exception {
System.out.println(":" + arg21);
byte[] v14 = Base64.decode(arg21.getBytes("UTF-8"), 0);
BufferedReader v3 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(arg20.getResources().openRawResource(0x7F060001), "UTF-8"));
ArrayList v13 = new ArrayList();
while(true) {
String v12 = v3.readLine();
if(v12 == null) {
break;
}
((List)v13).add(v12);
}
...Here we can clearly see that we have a function called decryptRSA, which is opening the private key, which is referenced as resource 0x7F060001. If we trace further into the application code, we can get a better idea of what the private key is being used for. But we'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
