Java Bytecode Scanner installation↑

The SandboxAQ Java Bytecode Scanner is a tool that complements the Java Tracer by providing information about the code under test. It scans the application bytecode in a JAR file or a set of class files and identifies all of the cryptographic call sites, as well as finds all strings that potentially contain hard-coded cryptographic values.

Requirements↑

  • Java 8 or higher

Download↑

The Java Bytecode Scanner is distributed as a .zip or .tar archive and can be downloaded from the AQtive Guard web interface:

  1. Select Settings from the menu bar, then select Sensors
  2. Locate the Java Bytecode Scanner and select Download.

If you’re using the on-premise AQtive Guard, the Java Bytecode Scanner is typically distributed with the on-premise package.
