History
Let’s start with the beginning
1.1 History
▪ Created by Ole Andre V. Ravås (@oleavr)
▪ Brainstorming with Håvard Sørbø (@hsorbo):
▫ Turn tedious manual reverse-engineering into something
much more fun, productive and interactive.
▪ Hackathons
▪ Result: https:/
/www.frida.re
“ Dynamic instrumentation toolkit
for developers, reverse-engineers,
and security researchers.
1.2 What is Frida?
▪ Free and open source dynamic code instrumentation toolkit written in
C that works by injecting a JavaScript engine (Duktape and V8) into the
target process.
▪ Lets you execute snippets of JavaScript into native apps on multiple
platforms such as Android and iOS.
▪ Implements code injection by writing code directly into process
memory.
▪ JS gets executed with full access to memory, hooking functions and
even calling native functions inside the process.

Usage
First steps
2.1 Installation
Client
Requirements:
▫ Python – latest 3.x is highly recommended
▫ Multiplatform (GNU/Linux, MacOS or Windows)
▪ Terminal:
$ pip3 install frida-tools # CLI tools
$ pip3 install frida # Python bindings
$ npm install frida # Node.js bindings
2.1 Installation
Remote server
▪ Android:
▫ Download frida-server from releases pages
https:/
/github.com/frida/frida/releases
▪ iOS:
▫ Cydia: Add Frida’s repository: https:/
/build.frida.re
▫ Install Frida package
$ adb root # might be required
$ adb push frida-server /data/local/tmp/
$ adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/frida-server"
$ adb shell "/data/local/tmp/frida-server &"
2.1.1 Installation
▪ A quick test, to make the basics are working:
# Connect Frida to your device over USB and list all running
processes
$ frida-ps -U
PID Name
---- ------------------------------------
124 adbd
1171 android.process.acore
1437 android.process.media
267 audioserver
257 batteryd
268 cameraserver
3492 com.android.calendar
4252 com.android.chrome
2.2 Modes of Operation
▪ Injected: provides a two-way communication channel to spawn an
existing program, attach to a running program, or hijack one as it’s
being spawned.
▪ Embedded: on jailed iOS and Android systems. frida-gadget, is a
shared library to embed into the app, which will automatically run
frida-server.
▪ Preloaded: frida-gadget when configured to run autonomously by
loading a script from the filesystem. Similar to LD_PRELOAD or
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES.
2.3 Gadget
▪ Is a shared library meant to be loaded by programs to be
instrumented when the Injected mode of operation isn’t suitable.
This may be done by:
▫ Modifying the source code of the program.
▫ Patching it or one of its libraries, e.g. by using a tool like
insert_dylib.
▫ Using a dynamic linker feature like LD_PRELOAD or
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES.
2.3.1 Gadget
iOS (without jailbreak)
▪ What we need:
▫ IPA decrypted
▫ Developer Apple account (free)
▫ OSX with Xcode
▫ brew, applesign, fastlane sign, ios-deploy, insert_dylib
2.3.2 Gadget
iOS (without jailbreak)
▪ How to get the IPA decrypted:
▫ Dumped it from a Jailbreak device.
▸ Clutch –d com.name.app
▸ Frida-ios-dump
https:/
/github.com/AloneMonkey/frida-ios-dump
▫ Ask the developer.
$ iproxy 2222 22
$ ssh root
// start the APP
$ /dump.py -l
$ /dump.py <APP>
2.3.3 Gadget
iOS (without jailbreak)
Inject FridaGadget.dylib into the iOS app:
▪ Generate embedded.mobileprovision with Xcode
▪ Sign dylib and IPA
$ applesign –m embedded.mobileprovision –w –l FridaGadget.dylib APP.ipa
▪ Unzip IPA
$ unzip APP-resigned.ipa
▪ Deploy on device
$ ios-deploy --bundle Payload/*.app -m -L
▪ Run frida
$ frida -U Gadget --no-pause
2.3.4 Gadget
Android (without root)
Inject FridaGadget.so into the APK:
▪ Disassemble APK
$ apktool d myapp.apk -o extractedFolder
▪ Know the arch
$ adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi
▪ Add the frida-gadget into the APK’s /lib folder. Gadget libraries for each
architecture on release pages.
$ wget
https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/x.x.x/frida-gadget-x.x.x
-android-arm.so.xz
$ unxz frida-gadget-x.x.x-android-arm.so.xz
$ cp frida_libs/armeabi/frida-gadget-x.x.x-android-arm.so
output/lib/armeabi/libfrida-gadget.so
2.3.5 Gadget
Android (without root)
▪ Find main activity
$ find . | grep -i main | grep smali$
▪ Inject a System.loadLibrary("frida-gadget") call into the bytecode of the
app, ideally before any other bytecode executes or any native code is
loaded. Add the following smali code to the constructor.
const-string v0, "frida-gadget"
invoke-static {v0}, Ljava/lang/System;->loadLibrary(Ljava/lang/String;)V
▪ Ensure network permissions in AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
▪ Repackage the application
$ apktool b -o repackaged.apk output/
2.3.6 Gadget
Android (without root)
▪ Sign the updated APK using your own keys and zipalign
$ keytool -genkey -v -keystore custom.keystore -alias
mykeyaliasname -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
$ jarsigner -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore
mycustom.keystore -storepass mystorepass repackaged.apk
mykeyaliasname
$ jarsigner -verify repackaged.apk
$ zipalign 4 repackaged.apk repackaged-final.apk

Objective C
▪ Objective-C is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming
language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C
programming language.
▪ The Objective-C model of object-oriented programming is based on
message passing to object instances. In Objective-C one does not
call a method; one sends a message.
▹ C++:
obj->method(parameter);
▹ Objective C:
[obj method:parameter];

Perform penetration tests on various technologies,such as web applications, mobile applications, AD attacks, Wireless media and infrastructures. LAURA GARCÍA > 10 years of experience in Computer Security Senior Security Consultant https:/ /es.linkedin.com/in/laura-garcia-cybersec @lain7z https:/ /es.linkedin.com/in/martabarriomarcos @martrudix
  • 3. History Tools and Scripts Usage References Hands on Labs #index
  • 5. 1.1 History ▪ Created by Ole Andre V. Ravås (@oleavr) ▪ Brainstorming with Håvard Sørbø (@hsorbo): ▫ Turn tedious manual reverse-engineering into something much more fun, productive and interactive. ▪ Hackathons ▪ Result: https:/ /www.frida.re
  • 6. “ Dynamic instrumentation toolkit for developers, reverse-engineers, and security researchers.
  • 7. 1.2 What is Frida? ▪ Free and open source dynamic code instrumentation toolkit written in C that works by injecting a JavaScript engine (Duktape and V8) into the target process. ▪ Lets you execute snippets of JavaScript into native apps on multiple platforms such as Android and iOS. ▪ Implements code injection by writing code directly into process memory. ▪ JS gets executed with full access to memory, hooking functions and even calling native functions inside the process. https:/ /t.me/fridadotre @fridadotre https:/ /codeshare.frida.re/
  • 9. 2.1 Installation Client Requirements: ▫ Python – latest 3.x is highly recommended ▫ Multiplatform (GNU/Linux, MacOS or Windows) ▪ Terminal: $ pip3 install frida-tools # CLI tools $ pip3 install frida # Python bindings $ npm install frida # Node.js bindings
  • 10. 2.1 Installation Remote server ▪ Android: ▫ Download frida-server from releases pages https:/ /github.com/frida/frida/releases ▪ iOS: ▫ Cydia: Add Frida’s repository: https:/ /build.frida.re ▫ Install Frida package $ adb root # might be required $ adb push frida-server /data/local/tmp/ $ adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/frida-server" $ adb shell "/data/local/tmp/frida-server &"
  • 11. 2.1.1 Installation ▪ A quick test, to make the basics are working: # Connect Frida to your device over USB and list all running processes $ frida-ps -U PID Name ---- ------------------------------------ 124 adbd 1171 android.process.acore 1437 android.process.media 267 audioserver 257 batteryd 268 cameraserver 3492 com.android.calendar 4252 com.android.chrome
  • 12. 2.2 Modes of Operation ▪ Injected: provides a two-way communication channel to spawn an existing program, attach to a running program, or hijack one as it’s being spawned. ▪ Embedded: on jailed iOS and Android systems. frida-gadget, is a shared library to embed into the app, which will automatically run frida-server. ▪ Preloaded: frida-gadget when configured to run autonomously by loading a script from the filesystem. Similar to LD_PRELOAD or DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES.
  • 13. 2.3 Gadget ▪ Is a shared library meant to be loaded by programs to be instrumented when the Injected mode of operation isn’t suitable. This may be done by: ▫ Modifying the source code of the program. ▫ Patching it or one of its libraries, e.g. by using a tool like insert_dylib. ▫ Using a dynamic linker feature like LD_PRELOAD or DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES.
  • 14. 2.3.1 Gadget iOS (without jailbreak) ▪ What we need: ▫ IPA decrypted ▫ Developer Apple account (free) ▫ OSX with Xcode ▫ brew, applesign, fastlane sign, ios-deploy, insert_dylib
  • 15. 2.3.2 Gadget iOS (without jailbreak) ▪ How to get the IPA decrypted: ▫ Dumped it from a Jailbreak device. ▸ Clutch –d com.name.app ▸ Frida-ios-dump https:/ /github.com/AloneMonkey/frida-ios-dump ▫ Ask the developer. $ iproxy 2222 22 $ ssh root // start the APP $ /dump.py -l $ /dump.py <APP>
  • 16. 2.3.3 Gadget iOS (without jailbreak) Inject FridaGadget.dylib into the iOS app: ▪ Generate embedded.mobileprovision with Xcode ▪ Sign dylib and IPA $ applesign –m embedded.mobileprovision –w –l FridaGadget.dylib APP.ipa ▪ Unzip IPA $ unzip APP-resigned.ipa ▪ Deploy on device $ ios-deploy --bundle Payload/*.app -m -L ▪ Run frida $ frida -U Gadget --no-pause
  • 17. 2.3.4 Gadget Android (without root) Inject FridaGadget.so into the APK: ▪ Disassemble APK $ apktool d myapp.apk -o extractedFolder ▪ Know the arch $ adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi ▪ Add the frida-gadget into the APK’s /lib folder. Gadget libraries for each architecture on release pages. $ wget https://github.com/frida/frida/releases/download/x.x.x/frida-gadget-x.x.x -android-arm.so.xz $ unxz frida-gadget-x.x.x-android-arm.so.xz $ cp frida_libs/armeabi/frida-gadget-x.x.x-android-arm.so output/lib/armeabi/libfrida-gadget.so
  • 18. 2.3.5 Gadget Android (without root) ▪ Find main activity $ find . | grep -i main | grep smali$ ▪ Inject a System.loadLibrary("frida-gadget") call into the bytecode of the app, ideally before any other bytecode executes or any native code is loaded. Add the following smali code to the constructor. const-string v0, "frida-gadget" invoke-static {v0}, Ljava/lang/System;->loadLibrary(Ljava/lang/String;)V ▪ Ensure network permissions in AndroidManifest.xml <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> ▪ Repackage the application $ apktool b -o repackaged.apk output/
  • 19. 2.3.6 Gadget Android (without root) ▪ Sign the updated APK using your own keys and zipalign $ keytool -genkey -v -keystore custom.keystore -alias mykeyaliasname -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 $ jarsigner -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore mycustom.keystore -storepass mystorepass repackaged.apk mykeyaliasname $ jarsigner -verify repackaged.apk $ zipalign 4 repackaged.apk repackaged-final.apk ▪ Install the updated APK to a device $ adb install repackaged-final.apk
  • 20. 2.4 Frida Tools ▪ Frida CLI ▪ frida-trace ▪ frida-ps ▪ frida-ls-devices
  • 21. 2.4.1 Tools Frida CLI # Start debugging Chrome remotely $ frida -U com.android.chrome # Start debugging Safari locally $ frida Safari Interface that aims to emulate a lot of the nice features of IPython, which tries to get you closer to your code for rapid prototyping and easy debugging.
  • 22. 2.4.2 Tools Frida CLI + script # Spawn class.app.com and load frida-bypass script over USB $ frida -U -l frida-bypass.js -f class.app.com --no-pause # Attach an application and load List classes script over USB $ frida -U -l list-classes.js Gadget # Spawn class.app.com and load find classes script over USB $ frida -U -l find-classes.js -f class.app.com
