Frida Tools Reference

Use this skill when choosing a Frida command-line tool or building a command from scratch.

Tool Picker

frida: interactive REPL, load scripts, spawn or attach to a target.
frida-ps: list processes and installed apps.
frida-ls-devices: list local, USB, and remote devices.
frida-trace: generate temporary handlers for matching functions, ObjC methods, Java methods, or modules.
frida-discover: discover internal functions by observing activity.
frida-kill: kill a process on a selected device by PID.
frida-create: scaffold an agent project when TypeScript or packaging is needed.

Target Selectors

frida-ls-devices
frida-ps -Uai
frida -U -f com.example.app -l agent.js --no-pause
frida -U -n "App Name" -l agent.js
frida -p 1234 -l agent.js
frida -H 127.0.0.1:27042 -n target -l agent.js

Prefer package/bundle identifiers for mobile spawn commands and PID when process names are ambiguous.

Trace Examples

frida-trace -U -f com.example.app -j '*!*certificate*/isu' --no-pause
frida-trace -U -f com.example.app -i 'Java_*' --no-pause
frida-trace -p 1234 -i '*open*' -x 'libSystem*!*open*'
frida-trace -U -f com.example.ios -m '-[NSURLSession *]' --no-pause

Option order matters for include and exclude filters: build the working set with includes, then remove noise with excludes.

Direct CodeShare

frida -U --codeshare author/project-slug -f com.example.app --no-pause

Prefer frida-codeshare-search when the script must be fetched, reviewed, and saved locally first.

Proof To Report

Exact command used.
Device selector and target selector.
Frida version.
