A practical guide to using jadx, an open-source decompiler, to reverse-engineer Java and Android binaries. Covers building jadx from source, decompiling .class files, extracting and decompiling JAR files, and inspecting Android APK and DEX files using both the CLI and jadx-gui. Also touches on decompilation modes (auto, restructure, simple, fallback) and notes that perfect source recovery is not guaranteed. Mentions additional features like Gradle project generation and Control Flow Graph output.
