How to Bypass SSL Pinning and Monitor iOS Network Traffic in Real-Time with Frida

In today's mobile security landscape, understanding how apps communicate with external servers is crucial. However, many iOS applications enforce SSL Pinning, making it difficult to intercept HTTPS traffic. In this guide, we’ll explore an advanced iOS SSL Bypass & Traffic Monitor that allows real-time network analysis.

Why SSL Pinning Bypass is Important

SSL Pinning prevents Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks by enforcing strict SSL certificate validation. Bypassing SSL pinning allows security professionals to:

Analyze API requests & responses in real-time.
Detect sensitive data leaks in network communication.
Test for vulnerabilities in backend APIs.

Features of the iOS SSL Bypass & Traffic Monitor

✅ Bypasses SSL Pinning for network traffic analysis.
✅ Monitors iOS Network Traffic in real-time.
✅ Works dynamically using Frida (no app modifications).

Installation & Setup

Step 1: Install Frida

pip install frida-tools

Step 2: Start Frida Server on iOS

./frida-server &

Step 3: Verify Device Connection

frida-ps -U

Step 4: Clone the SSL Bypass Script

git clone https://github.com/riyadmondol2006/ios-ssl-bypass-and-traffic-monitor.git

How to Use the SSL Bypass & Network Monitor

Method 1: Attach to a Running App

frida -U -p <PID> -l ios_ssl_bypass_and_traffic_monitor.js

Method 2: Launch an App with Monitoring Enabled

frida -U -f com.example.appname -l ios_ssl_bypass_and_traffic_monitor.js --no-pause

Interpreting the Output

Example logs:

[2025-03-11T07:23:25.123Z] Sending a POST request...
  - URL: https://api.example.com/login
  - Headers: Authorization = Bearer <token>
  - Body: {"username": "test", "password": "password123"}

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

🚫 Frida Not Detecting iOS Device? Ensure Frida server is running on iOS.
🚫 No Network Requests Showing? The app may use a different networking method.
🚫 App Crashes on Attach? Some apps have Frida detection, requiring extra steps.

Conclusion

Bypassing SSL Pinning is crucial for security testing and debugging iOS apps. The iOS SSL Bypass & Traffic Monitor makes it easy to analyze app communication without modifying the app.
