Can Android Studio be setup as an environment for malware analysis?

I've heard of REMNUX distro for malware analysis, but dk how to get started with in the very first. Any suggestions are appreciated

Emulators for malware analysis in android devices

Answer 1

I have no idea about android emulators, but you can use Remnux for static/code analysis of android malwares. Also,Remnux has a rich documentation and you can download the remnux image(VM or Docker) and run it easily. More information is available at : https://remnux.org/?ltclid=
