## What it is
MEDUSA is a modular automation framework and script repository for runtime testing and investigating Android and iOS apps, built on FRIDA. It ships with 90+ reusable modules for bypassing protections, tracing API calls, inspecting network/WebView activity, and monitoring malware behavior from a single coordinated script.

## Use cases
- bypass ssl pinning in android apps
- trace api calls in an ios app at runtime
- analyze android malware behavior dynamically
- inspect webview activity in a mobile app
- hook crypto functions to examine memory
- automate repeated frida-based pentest checks
- compile multiple frida scripts into one unified script

## When to choose
- you need runtime instrumentation of Android or iOS apps during a pentest
- you want a curated library of ready-made FRIDA modules instead of writing scripts from scratch
- you are performing dynamic malware analysis on mobile apps
- you need repeatable, scalable mobile security testing workflows

## When to avoid
- you need static analysis of mobile binaries without a rooted device or emulator
- you are testing non-mobile platforms like desktop or web apps
- you want a fully automated CI pipeline tool rather than an interactive CLI
- you cannot run a FRIDA server on the target device
