Frida is a dynamic instrumentation toolkit designed for developers, reverse engineers, and security researchers. It enables users to inject custom scripts into black-box processes to observe and manipulate their behavior in real time.
Key Features:
- Cross-platform support including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and QNX
- Hooking and tracing of function calls in native apps and libraries
- JavaScript API for writing custom instrumentation logic
- Support for scripting in Python via frida-python
- Real-time code injection without needing to recompile or restart the target application
- Helpful for malware analysis, debugging, and mobile app testing
Frida empowers users to bypass obfuscation, analyze encrypted protocols, and inspect how apps behave at runtime, making it an essential tool in the reverse engineering toolkit.
