TODOs:

• Add GIFs & docs

• Enumerate loaded classes

  $ frida -U com.pkg -qe 'Java.perform(function(){Java.enumerateLoadedClasses({"onMatch":function(c){console.log(c);}});});' -o pkg.classes
  

• Extract modules from APK

    $ frida -Uq com.android. -e "Process.enumerateModules({onMatch: function(m){console.log('-' + m.name)},onComplete:function(){}})"
    ....
    -libsqlite.so
  

• get methods from .so file

    $ adb pull /system/lib/libsqlite.so

• SQLite hook example (+Native)

    Interceptor.attach(Module.findExportByName('libsqlite.so', 'sqlite3_prepare16_v2'), {
        onEnter: function(args) {
            console.log('DB: ' + Memory.readUtf16String(args[0]) + '\tSQL: ' + Memory.readUtf16String(args[1]));
        }
    });
  

• Hook example: java.lang.reflect.Method#invoke(Object obj, Object... args, boolean bool)

    Java.use('java.lang.reflect.Method').invoke.overload('java.lang.Object', '[Ljava.lang.Object;', 'boolean').implementation = function(a,b,c) {
        console.log('hooked!', a, b, c);
        return this.invoke(a,b,c);
    };
  

• Hook constructor

    Java.use('java.lang.StringBuilder').$init.overload('java.lang.String').implementation = function(stringArgument) {
        console.log("c'tor");
        return this(stringArgument);
    };
  

• Hook Native (JNI)

Interceptor.attach(Module.findExportByName(null, "dlopen"), {
    onEnter: function(args) {
        var lib = Memory.readUtf8String(args[0]);
        console.log("dlopen called with: " + lib);
        this.lib = lib; // pass argument to onLeave
    },
    onLeave: function(retval) {
        console.log("dlopen called exit with: " + this.lib);
        if (this.lib.endsWith("libfoo.so")) {
            console.log("ret: " + retval);
            var funcAddr = 0x0021e5b4; // find function address with $ nm --demangle --dynamic libfoo.so | grep "SomeClass::someFunction"
            var offset = Module.findBaseAddress("libfoo.so"); // Process.findModuleByName("libfoo.so").base) will also work     
            Interceptor.attach(offset.add(funcAddr), {
                onEnter: function(args) {
                    console.log('hooked !');
                }
            });
        }
    }
});
