## What it is
A Frida module written in TypeScript for dumping, tracing, and hijacking IL2CPP (Unity) applications at runtime without needing the global-metadata.dat file. It exposes the C# runtime of IL2CPP apps so users can inspect classes, methods, and fields, and intercept or replace method calls.

## Use cases
- dump classes and methods from a Unity IL2CPP game at runtime
- trace and intercept method calls in an IL2CPP application
- hook and replace C# methods in a Unity game without global-metadata.dat
- reverse engineer an Android Unity game with Frida
- inspect and manipulate the C# runtime of an IL2CPP app
- analyze Unity game internals on iOS or Windows

## When to choose
- you need to dynamically analyze or hook a Unity IL2CPP application
- global-metadata.dat is missing, encrypted, or stripped
- you want a TypeScript API on top of Frida for IL2CPP internals
- you target Android or Linux, the best-tested platforms

## When to avoid
- you don't know Frida or basic programming
- you need a stable API - releases may be breaking
- you target non-Android/Linux platforms where support is untested
- you need static analysis of IL2CPP binaries rather than runtime instrumentation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, sdk, developer-tools
- domain: reverse-engineering, security
- platform: windows
- tags: frida, il2cpp, unity, runtime-instrumentation, game-hacking, typescript, dumping, tracing, game-development, android, ios, macos, linux, nodejs
