Some random ideas for detecting Frida instrumentation from within a process:
- Scan all local TCP ports, sending a D-Bus message to each port to identify fridaserver.
- Scan text sections for a string found inside
frida-gadget*.so
/frida-agent*.so
. File operations are implemented in ASM so prevent easy bypassing with libc function hooks.
These examples were developed to accompany a blog post. Note that copy/pasting this into your own code will not guarantee any meaningful protection.
