Hi,

I want to reverse engineer api of an Android app to make a custom client that works on linux. I have good understanding of Linux, Networking and coding.

Where should I start? Is it too hard?

Interested to hear answers for this one.. maybe MITM yourself and capture packets to see whats being sent?

Yeah, that's where I'd start. I have no idea how easy it would be to make heads or tails of it. I guess best case it's all plaintext JSON.

Keep us updated! Looks like I was on the right track, everyone else recommends the same.

Also, keep some screenshots and data you can assemble into a tutorial. You'll likely end up using your own tutorial again at some point.
