Open Source Python Reverse Engineering Tools

Dynamic instrumentation toolkit for developers, reverse-engineers, and security researchers. Inject your own scripts into black box processes. Hook any function, spy on crypto APIs or trace private application code, no source code needed. Edit, hit save, and instantly see the results. All without compilation steps or program restarts. Works on Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, iOS, Android, and QNX. Install the Node.js bindings from npm, grab a Python package from PyPI, or use Frida through its Swift bindings, .NET bindings, Qt/Qml bindings, or C API. Frida is and will always be free software (free as in freedom). We want to empower the next generation of developer tools, and help other free software developers achieve interoperability through reverse engineering. We are proud that NowSecure is using Frida to do fast, deep analysis of mobile apps at scale. Frida has a comprehensive test-suite and has gone through years of rigorous testing across a broad range of use-cases.

HackingTool by Z4nzu is a large collection (“all-in-one”) of tools and scripts for penetration testing / hacking / OSINT etc. It bundles many utilities (port scanners, payload injectors, web attack tools, phishing tools, wireless attack tools, reverse engineering, etc.) into a menu interface. Includes many individual tools, often wrappers or aggregations of existing well-known tools (e.g. port scanners, web attack tools, steganography, hash cracking etc.). A menu interface offering categories: reconnaissance, payload creation, wireless attacks, reverse engineering, exploit frameworks, etc. Users can pick which tool to run. It is intended more for “ethical / lab / educational” hacking contexts rather than production or stealth scenarios. It depends a lot on external tools, grants, and root privileges in many cases.

OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) is a free, open-source resource that provides comprehensive guidance for testing and evaluating the security of mobile applications. Developed by the Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP), the guide offers practical methodologies, technical instructions, and testing procedures for identifying security vulnerabilities in Android and iOS applications. MASTG covers a wide range of mobile security topics, including data storage, cryptography, authentication, network communication, platform interactions, and reverse engineering. The guide aligns with the OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and Mobile Application Security Weakness Enumeration (MASWE), helping organizations evaluate applications against established security requirements. Security professionals can use its detailed testing techniques, tool recommendations, practical examples, and hands-on exercises.
