iOS Reverse Engineering With Frida

Presented at Objective by the Sea version 4.0 (2021), Oct. 1, 2021, 2 p.m. (50 minutes)

Are you interested in iOS RE but it seems too daunting to even know where to begin? This talk will show you how easy it is to get started in iOS RE with any PC/Mac, an iPhone, and Frida!

Frida is a dynamic code instrumentation framework that is an essential tool in an iOS reverse engineer's toolbelt. Using Javascript, Frida allows you to inject custom code into a native app on a multitude of platforms. And did I mention it is open source?

Presenters:
