android-pentesting-tricks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yaklang/hack-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (3,286 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-testing playbook for Android applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in authorized tests for SSL certificate-pinning bypass, exported components, unsafe WebViews, intent redirection, root-detection bypass, tapjacking, backup extraction, and Play Integrity evasion.
Why use it?
It helps assess mobile-app protections and exposed components that can create security weaknesses.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

android-pentesting-tricks scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/frida-server-16.x.x-android-arm64"

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

SKILL: Android Pentesting Tricks — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert Android application security testing techniques. Covers SSL pinning bypass (Frida/Objection/LSPosed), component exposure, WebView exploitation, intent redirection, root detection bypass, and Play Integrity evasion. Base models miss Frida hook specifics and multi-layer bypass chains.

Before going deep, consider loading:

Advanced Reference

Also load FRIDA_SCRIPTS.md when you need:

  • Ready-to-use Frida script templates for common Android testing tasks
  • Detailed hook points for OkHttp, Retrofit, Volley, WebView
  • Root detection bypass script collection

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
