Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a beginner.
I have a system.ext4 file that I was able to extract from my firmware. I need to delete the unwanted APK files.
I used 7-Zip to view the files inside the .ext4, but I can't delete the apk files as it says it's "read only".
What software can I edit the .ext4 file so that I can have free access, or at least delete files within it?
Thanks.

Hi,
For the university I'm analyzing a old android malware and they gave me two samples. The apks are the same (code, dex, res etc...) except for additional files .SF and .RSA in the META-INF folder. In the .SF files, it is possible to see that the digests are calculated for not existing files in the apk. For this reason (I think) the apk cannot be installed through adb in the virtual machine because the signature check fails. Is there a way to exploit this files in a malicious way? I have only noticed that less antimalwares mark this apk as a malware, probably because the hash is different.
Thank you in advance.
