+LibScout is a light-weight and effective static analysis tool to detect third-party libraries in Android/Java apps. The detection is resilient against common bytecode obfuscation techniques such as identifier renaming or code-based obfuscations such as reflection-based API hiding or control-flow randomization. Further LibScout is capable of pinpointing exact library versions.<br>
+LibScout requires the original library SDKs (compiled .jar/.aar files) to extract library profiles that can be used for detection on Android apps. Pre-generated library profiles are hosted at the repository [LibScout-Profiles](https://github.com/reddr/LibScout-Profiles).

-You can find all <b>library profiles</b> (ready-to-use) for lib detection in apps in the data directory as compressed .zip file.<br>
-It currently includes <b>205</b> unique libraries and <b>3,071</b> library versions.<br> For convenience, data/library-data.csv contains a complete list of library/-versions including meta data such as release dates.
-
-### Scripts (scripts/mvn-central)
-The scripts directory further contains a python script to automatically download original library SDKs including complete version histories from maven-central.<br>
-The set of libraries we currently retrieve is stored in a json file.<br>

-Due to copyright reasons we cannot publicy provide the original library SDKs. If you are interested in this data, send us an email.
-We also welcome contributions to LibScout or our library database (either original SDKs or scripts for automatic retrieval from sources other than mvn central).<br><br>
