Tooling

Tools I use on mobile and binary targets, grouped by purpose.

Tooling

Static analysis

Reading the artifact when source is not available: decompilation, cross references and control flow across Mach-O and Dex.

  • Ghidra
  • IDA
  • jadx
  • radare2 / rizin

Dynamic analysis and instrumentation

Watching and changing behavior at runtime: hooking, tracing, debugger attachment and stepping past client-side checks on a rooted or jailbroken device.

  • Frida
  • objection
  • LLDB
  • Xposed / LSPosed

Traffic and network

Intercepting what the app actually sends and inspecting it at packet level, including how it behaves under TLS pinning.

  • mitmproxy
  • Burp Suite
  • Wireshark
  • tcpdump

Platform toolchain

Build, deploy and packaging chain on both platforms: device provisioning, APK decoding and repacking, and static triage of a build before any of the above.

  • Xcode / Instruments
  • Android Studio / adb
  • apktool
  • MobSF
  • libimobiledevice
