random

Before reading this tutorial, it's highly recommended that you first take a look at the official website of r2frida to install the tool as well as understand the capabilities of this one.

Android & iOS Connection

Retrieve the device id using frida-ls-devices and the name of the app using frida-ps. The package name may be preferable if the display name contains spaces.

Attach

Attach to a running app using the display name.

r2 frida://device-id/Snapchat

Attach to the Frida Gadget:

r2 frida://attach/usb//Gadget

Spawn

Spawn an app using two // and the package name.

r2 frida://device-id//com.snapchat.android

Or explicitly using the word spawn:

r2 frida://spawn/usb/device-id/com.android.app

Or without entering the device-id:

r2 frida://spawn/usb//com.android.app

Commands (`\?`)

In order to get the list of commands, you might want to type: \?. Remember that all r2frida commands must start with \ or =!.

Version commands

\?V: Show target Frida version

To display the r2 version:

[0x00000000]> ?V
3.6.0-git aka 3.5.0-27-g2bba203eb commit 21781

To display the Frida version:

[0x00000000]> \?V
{"version":"12.5.3"}
[0x00000000]> =!?V
{"version":"12.5.3"}

\dxc [sym|addr] [args..]: Call the target symbol with given args

[0x00000000]> \ii frida-gadget.so~gettimeofday
0xf40d8590 f gettimeofday /system/lib/libc.so

As we want to call the function int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz); we would need two new structs. For doing so, we can allocate some memory in the heap of the process and get two pointers.

[0x00000000]> \dma 16
0xebaf6f18
[0x00000000]> \dma 16
0xebaf70d8

Finally we can call the function using the aforementioned pointers. The dxc command returns the return value of the function called.

[0x00000000]> \dxc 0xf40d8590 0xebaf6f18 0xebaf70d8
"0x0"

For this specific example, we can use the r2 command pt (print timestamp) to verify that the pointer got indeed populated with the timestamp. Hence, we have arbitrarily executed code within the process.

Frida Scripts (`\. script.js`)

JS code to be run in the target can be loaded with \. script.js. A common practice is always to call this script agent.js to remember that's the code to be run inside the target.
