drozer is a security testing framework for Android.
drozer allows you to search for security vulnerabilities in apps and devices by assuming the role of an app and interacting with the Android Runtime, other apps' IPC endpoints and the underlying OS.
drozer provides tools to help you use, share and understand public Android exploits.
drozer is open source software, maintained by WithSecure, and can be downloaded from: https://labs.withsecure.com/tools/drozer/
This is an BETA release of a rewritten drozer version; this version is updated to support python3.
Currently, the following known issues are present:
- Building of custom agents functionality will crash the drozer client. This functionality is considered out of scope for the beta release of the revived drozer project.
To help with making sure drozer can be run on all systems, a Docker container was created that has a working build of drozer.
- The Docker container and basic setup instructions can be found here.
- Instructions on building your own Docker container can be found here.
- Python3.8
- Protobuf 4.25.2 or greater
- Pyopenssl 22.0.0 or greater
- Twisted 18.9.0 or greater
- Distro 1.8.0 or greater
- Java Development Kit 11 or greater
You can use pip or pipx (preferably, if available) to install the latest release of drozer from PyPI:
pipx install drozerAlternatively, you can download individual releases from GitHub and run:
pipx install ./drozer-*.whlIf you haven't already, consider running:
pipx ensurepathto ensure pipx-installed packages appear in your PATH
To build drozer from source you can run.
git clone https://github.com/WithSecureLabs/drozer.git
cd drozer
pip install .To build the Android native components against a specific SDK you can set the ANDROID_SDK environment variable to the path. For example:
Linux/macOS:
export ANDROID_SDK=/home/drozerUser/Android/Sdk/platforms/android-34/android.jarWindows - PowerShell:
New-Item -Path Env:\ANDROID_SDK -Value 'C:\Users\drozerUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platforms\android-34\android.jar'Windows - cmd:
set ANDROID_SDK = "C:\Users\drozerUser\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platforms\android-34\android.jar"The location of the d8 tool used can also be changed by setting D8.
drozer can be installed using Android Debug Bridge (adb).
Download the latest drozer Agent here.
adb install drozer-agent.apkYou should now have the drozer Console installed on your PC, and the Agent running on your test device. Now, you need to connect the two and you’re ready to start exploring.
We will use the server embedded in the drozer Agent to do this. First, launch the Agent, select the "Embedded Server" option and tap "Enable" to start the server. You should see a notification that the server has started.
Then, follow one of the options below.
By default, the drozer Agent listens for incoming TCP connections on all interfaces on port 31415. In order to connect to the Agent, run the following command:
drozer console connect --server <phone's IP address>
If you are using the Docker container, the equivalent command would be:
docker run --net host -it withsecurelabs/drozer console connect --server <phone's IP address>
In some scenarios, connecting to the device over the network may not be viable. In these scenarios, we can leverage adb's port-forwarding capabilities to establish a connection over USB.
First, you need to set up a suitable port forward so that your PC can connect to a TCP socket opened by the Agent inside the emulator, or on the device. By default, drozer uses port 31415
adb forward tcp:31415 tcp:31415You can now connect to the drozer Agent by connecting to localhost (or simply not specifying the target IP)
drozer console connectYou should be presented with a drozer command prompt:

The prompt confirms the Android ID of the device you have connected to, along with the manufacturer, model and Android software version.
You are now ready to start exploring the device.
