Frida 16.5.7 Released ∞

release

14 Nov 2024

Exciting new release packed with improvements and new features across platforms. Here’s what’s new:

@hsorbo and I have been working hard to enhance our Fruity backend, and we’re excited to share the following improvements:

Added support for the TCP tunnel protocol and made it the default to match Apple’s new behavior. The FRIDA_FRUITY_TUNNEL_PROTOCOL environment variable can be used to revert back to QUIC.
Fixed edge-case in tunnel logic for older OS versions, ensuring reliable operation even when usbmuxd is not available.
Gracefully closed TunnelConnection to improve stability.
Fixed a hang that could occur when a USB operation starts during teardown, preventing transfers from getting stuck.
Fixed QuicTunnelConnection teardown logic, properly handling errors during close operations.
Relaxed NCM interface presence check, requiring only one operational network interface.
Adjusted to always try USB transport first, as network transport may be slower or unavailable.
Improved handling of timeout cases when skipping jailed fallback.
Now expect networked devices to respond quickly when connecting to the pairing service, improving the user experience when a device has gone to sleep.
Fixed CoreDevice UDID logic for modern devices.

Gadget now supports loading assets from APKs when extractNativeLibs is set to false, improving compatibility with modern Android apps (thanks to @gergesh).
Revived injector’s handling of shared libc ranges, ensuring correct behavior when the target process’s lowest libc.so range is a shared mapping (thanks to @lx866).

Improved injector’s compatibility with MUSL, handling differences in the loader string (thanks to @luckycat889).
Added support for overriding configuration when building helpers, allowing for greater flexibility in builds (thanks to @luckycat889).
Allocated stack for injector’s remote calls, improving compatibility with programs using small stacks, such as Go applications (thanks to @ajwerner).
Added CI that rebuilds helper binaries to ensure consistency between source and checked-in binaries (thanks to @ajwerner).
Picked alternative temporary directories when $TMPDIR is noexec

Added support for non-UTF-8 locales in the build system, ensuring better compatibility on systems with various locale settings (thanks to @JunGe-Y).
Added support for the PowerPC architecture in the build system.
Added support for binary data handling in frida-inject and RpcClient internals.

Happy hacking!
