Reconizer

RECONIZER V2

Upcoming

Reconizer V2 is a significant upgrade from its previous version. It now has the ability to support custom workflows created by the user or community. These workflows can connect the latest and greatest tools in any desired way. Additionally, we will provide common workflows that are used during the bug bounty recon phase, written in YAML format. To guide users, we will publish example recipes. Users can easily pipe one program's output into another program's input, and we offer drag and drop support for workflow creation. This eliminates the need to constantly update and find alternative tools when hard-coded tools go out of support.

Frida Labs

This repository offers a series of beginner-friendly challenges to help you learn Frida for Android, covering everything from basic to intermediate levels. These challenges, though not hardcore Capture The Flag (CTF) applications, focus on familiarizing you with Frida's commonly used APIs. The primary goal is to build your understanding and ability to use Frida and comprehend scripts written by others. While each challenge includes flags, the emphasis is on exploring various methods to obtain them using Frida. The repository will be updated with new challenges over time. APKs and their solutions are provided in the respective directories, with the first solution guiding those entirely new to Frida.

The framework's user-friendly design ensures both beginners and experienced users can benefit from its capabilities.

Android Security :: Exported Broadcast Receiver

It's been a while since I delved into Android security, but I recently wanted to quickly cover exported broadcast receivers. Broadcast receivers are like messages sent to a group of people.
