Hey @ceres-c,
great script, thanks a lot. Used it for some applications successfully, but for some reason, with app I currently testm I receive no outputs (even though it is definitely writing to keystore).
Any idea why?
Best regards,
lartsch

Hey @Lartsch,
Sorry for the delay, but I have been working on other things this whole day. Right now it’s pretty late, but it might very well be that your application is not loading a KeyStore with the method I am attaching to. You have to decompile the app and search where it’s loading the KeyStore: most likely it is using a different overloaded load method. Once you know which method is being used, you have to figure out how to extract the data.
Maybe you’ll have to attach to another function altogether, since if I’m not mistaken there was some way to pass a certificate in a sort of non-readable object, but don’t quote me on that.
Keep me posted

Hello @Ceres-s,

I run the script and it just hangs there after " Launching js code..."

[.] Attaching to device...
[.] Spawning the app...
[.] Attaching to process...
[.] Launching js code...
(run the app until needed, close it and then kill this script)

Hi, I noticed one issue in the readStreamToHex function, where the stream is closed on behalf of the application. This may disrupt the application flow.
