It seems to be made for injecting Frida into APKs. I'm having trouble understanding what Frida is. Can I do something cool with it?

- saagarjha 4y agoFrida lets you hook behavior in apps. Think of it like mocking but for reverse engineers.
- jacob019 4y agoWould this help to reverse engineer an encrypted API?
- jefficient 4y agoYes. For example you could hook the function that encrypts the outgoing payload and print it out before it is encrypted. And then for decryption you could hook the function that decrypts the payload as it comes in print out the result. Going further, the API likely uses some secret key for encryption/decryption and you could hook that value out of the app as well.
- SeriousM 4y agoWow, that sounds really cool! Searching around i found this list: https://github.com/dweinstein/awesome-frida https://github.com/dweinstein/awesome-frida
- varenc 4y agoSadly the name "Frida" suffers from poor googleability. But here you go: https://frida.re/ https://frida.re/ Basically it's _the_ reverse engineering toolkit for security researchers. Has excellent support across Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, etc.
- biosboiii 4y agoI did not know that Frida is used for anything but Mobile apps, thanks :D
- xeonax 4y agoIt helps you inject a js runtime in your apps which have access to everything via reflection. No need to recompile the app after making changes to smali (decompiled but modifiable language). As you can just modify the js script and get the modified behavior.
