Frida

Description

A dynamic instrumentation toolkit used for mobile application penetration testing. Frida allows security researchers to inject scripts into running processes on Android and iOS devices, enabling runtime analysis, hooking of functions, and bypassing security controls.

Usage 1: Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Frida is used as a dynamic instrumentation framework for analyzing and testing mobile applications at runtime. It is referenced alongside Objection in the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide and HackTricks checklists for both Android and iOS pentesting.
