I am analyizing the traffic of an Android application via the Burp Suite and the emulator of Android Studio.

How can I find out the initiating App of a request? I would like to know if a request is started by my app or another app or by the system.

Thanks in advance!

I successfully started the emulator and the Burp Suite. I can see the traffic but I do not know where the requests Comes from.

  • I don't think you will be able to recognise from which request comes from which application (the only thing you probably you would be able to get is the sender (the phone/emulator itself, the receiver/target (the server which the data is requested from) and maybe some metadata (auth etc., which probably will be encrypted)) – JustSightseeing Nov 19 '22 at 13:18
  • @JustSightseeing Ok, thx. How can I analyze the outgoing requests when using android Studio and inporting the apk? – Stefan Klaus Nov 19 '22 at 15:59
  • Using the Network Inspector (https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/network-profiler) – JustSightseeing Nov 19 '22 at 17:27
  • I will post this as an answer, just for you to be able to mark this question as closed with an answer – JustSightseeing Nov 19 '22 at 20:54

As I said in the comments:

You can use the network inspector in android studio if you manage to import the app into it tho
