## What it is
objection is a runtime mobile exploration toolkit powered by Frida for assessing the security posture of iOS and Android applications without needing a jailbreak. It provides a command-line interface for inspecting file systems, bypassing SSL pinning, dumping keychains, and manipulating heap objects.

## Use cases
- bypass ssl pinning in mobile apps
- dump ios keychain during pentest
- explore android app file system at runtime
- hook and patch mobile app memory with frida
- assess mobile app security without jailbreak
- inspect heap objects in a running mobile app

## When to choose
- you need to perform dynamic security analysis of iOS or Android apps
- you want Frida-powered instrumentation with a convenient CLI
- you need to test mobile apps on non-jailbroken or non-rooted devices

## When to avoid
- you need static analysis or source code auditing of mobile apps
- you are testing non-mobile platforms like desktop or web applications
- you require a GUI-driven mobile testing workflow
