objection is a runtime mobile exploration toolkit powered by Frida, designed for security testing of iOS and Android applications without requiring jailbreak or root access. It provides an interactive REPL (objection explore) that lets security researchers bypass SSL pinning, dump keychain/keystore data, monitor cryptographic operations, inspect heap memory, hook methods, and bypass jailbreak/root detection — all by injecting a Frida agent into the target process. Architecture: The Python backend handles CLI commands, device state management, and patching (injecting Frida gadget into IPA/APK files). The TypeScript agent running inside the mobile app exports RPC methods for platform-specific features (Android: hooking, keystore, intents; iOS: keychain, crypto, biometrics). Communication happens over Frida's bi-directional transport. A Flask API server exposes RPC and script endpoints for remote control. The system uses a centralized state layer (connection, device, jobs) and a plugin system for extensibility. Key entry points: 'objection explore' (REPL), 'objection patchapk'/'objection patchipa' (binary patching), 'objection api' (API server), and the agent entry point in 'agent/src/index.ts'. External dependencies include frida, frida-tools, frida-fs, frida-screenshot, Flask, apktool, and GitHub API for gadget downloads. The codebase is well-structured for mobile security automation but shows some drift with deprecated CLI flags, Python 2 compatibility checks, and TODOs for advanced hooking targets.
