FRIDA is designed for security research, corporate device management, and parental control scenarios—prioritizing safety, performance, and operational stealth.</p> <p><strong>🦀 Why Rust?</strong><br> Rust’s memory safety, strong typing, and async capabilities make it the perfect language for building reliable, low-footprint monitoring tools. FRIDA leverages Rust’s ecosystem to deliver robust monitoring with minimal system impact.</p> <p><strong>🌟 Key Features</strong></p> <ul> <li>Keylogger: Real-time, secure keyboard input logging</li> <li>Device Monitor: USB/hardware event tracking and inventory</li> <li>Drive Analysis: Filesystem and storage mapping</li> <li>Process Inspector: Live process monitoring and Python-based scripting</li> <li>File Scanner: Sensitive file/content detection (SSH keys, docs, images, etc.)</li> <li>Network Exfiltration: Secure, JSON-based remote transfer</li> <li>🖼️ Screen Capture (NEW!): Cross-platform screenshot capture for Windows, macOS, and Linux, powered by the screenshots crate</li> <li>Task Scheduler: Efficient async runtime using Tokio <strong>🌍 Cross-Platform by Design</strong> FRIDA is built to work seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The new screen capture module ensures you can visually monitor endpoints regardless of OS.</li> </ul> <p><strong>📦 Getting Started</strong><br> Source &amp; Docs: <a href="https://github.com/Bmohsen/frida" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub Repo</a><br> Confidential Docs: See the in-repo documentation for technical deep-dives.<br> License: MIT—free for research, security audits, and educational use.</p> <p><strong>⚠️ Legal &amp; Ethical Notice</strong><br> Please use responsibly and always comply with local laws and regulations.
