Frida 17.x manager

The script manages the setup of the virtual environment needed to use Frida 17.x.x (described in Frida documentation), by performing the following steps:

• Write the script

• Run frida-create -t agent

• Install frida-java-bridge

• Write the code to compile the script, modifying content of Frida 16.x.x scripts, and load it in the process

Installation

• Clone the repository from here

• Create the virtual environment

python -m venv .venv

• Activate the virtual environment with respect to your Operating System guidelines.

• Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup

• Create the frida agent and setup the frida-java-bridge:

python frida_17_manager.py setup

Run Frida scripts

• Run a Javascript frida script on an Android running application (<package_name> specified in command line):

python frida_17_manager.py run -l /path/to/frida_script.js -p <package_name>

• Run a Javascript frida script on an Android running application (by selecting it at runtime):

python frida_17_manager.py run -l /path/to/frida_script.js

• Spawn an Android application and run a Javascript frida script (<package_name> specified in command line):

python frida_17_manager.py run --spawn -l /path/to/frida_script.js -p <package_name>

In this last case, if the <package_name> is not specified, the application will ask again it to the user.

The JS Frida scripts must be in the old format, in particular:

• JS extension

• no import of the frida-java-bridge

The python script will then update the JS script included by adding the following lines to a temporary TS copy of the file:

//Ignore TypeScript strict errors for now
//@ts-nocheck
import Java from 'frida-java-bridge';
