Components
Frida is a very complicated piece of software, with many abstraction layers and inherited functionality. It also utilizes different languages, such as C, C++, javascript and vala to name a few. My plan is to update the information here as I better understand myself. Here's a limited breakdown of what is in what repo:
| Component | Repo | What |
|---|---|---|
| Frida | https://github.com/frida/frida | This repo is pretty much for combining all the pieces of frida together. It does not contain much functionality itself. |
| Frida-core | https://github.com/frida/frida-core |
Static linkings for frida's bindings Loaders for frida (preload, injection, etc) vala for handling things like what to do when a process forks |
| Frida-gum | https://github.com/frida/frida-gum |
This is where most of the magic is v8/duk js bindings code to bind together js with low level access specific handling of linux vs windows vs darwin |
