vscode-frida

Unofficial frida workbench for VSCode

Prerequisites

• libimobiledevices (for inetcat command)
• Python >= 3.7
• frida-tools python package
• iTunes on Windows

If you are on Windows, you need to keep iTunes open in order to interact with iOS devices via USB.

Install frida-tools

Because of PEP0668, you might encounter error when pip3 install frida-tools globally.

The recommended way is to open a folder (workspace) in VSCode, then create and activate a virtual environment using python extension. In this case, the extension will pick your current active python venv to load frida commands.

Or you can use package manager like pipx or UV to install it to $PATH, meanwhile keeping it isolated.
