Hands-on Android pentest workflow: Frida server, Objection REPL, SSL pinning bypass, local storage, runtime hooking.

This module walks through an Android pentest with the two tools that do most of the heavy lifting: Objection (Frida-powered dynamic analysis) and Frida (runtime hooking framework). Setup, SSL-pinning bypass, local-storage inspection, method hooking — in practice, not theory.

Lab prerequisites

  • Rooted Android device or emulator (Genymotion + Magisk works reliably)
  • Frida server binary for the device’s architecture on port 27042
  • Python + pip install frida-tools objection
  • The target APK installed on the device
  • Burp Suite (or mitmproxy) with CA cert installed in the user or system cert store
