Dobby is a lightweight, modular function hooking framework supporting multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux) and architectures (x86, x86-64, ARM, ARM64). It enables intercepting and replacing native function calls at runtime.
Use cases
- hook native functions on iOS or Android apps
- intercept API calls for reverse engineering
- instrument native code at runtime for debugging
- patch function behavior in a running process
- build dynamic instrumentation tools like Frida
When to choose
- you need cross-platform, multi-architecture function hooking in C/C++
- you want a minimal, embeddable hooking library without heavy dependencies
- you are doing mobile app security research or reverse engineering
When to avoid
- you need a high-level dynamic instrumentation framework with scripting (use Frida)
- you only target a single platform and a simpler tool suffices
- you need hooks in managed/interpreted code rather than native code
