+# Androscalpel
+
+Androscalpel is a rust crate to manipulate Android application bytecode (dalvik).
+
+This developed between 2022 and 2025 by Jean-Marie Mineau for their PhD thesis, and release under the GPLv3 licence with the permission of CentraleSupelec.
+
+# Documentation
+
+The documentation can be generated with `cargo doc`.
+It will be generated at `target/doc/androscalpel/index.html`
+
+Right now, the recompilation process is a little complexe, an example can be found [here](./androscalpel/examples/count_ins_and_genapk.rs).
+
+# Note
+
+The Dalvik v41 format (concatenated DEX files) is not currently supported.
+Support is planned in the future.
