Have you read somewhere that you can use the Objection Framework to test the security of mobile apps, but don’t know where to start? For some reason, you can’t root your phone but still want to use Objection? Well, I think this is the guide for you!

The fantastic Objection framework!

In the next steps, I’ll show you everything from how to install Objection to how to prevent and resolve some common issues you might face while using it. First of all, I want to clarify that this guide is based on using Kali Linux.

So, let’s start with the usual commands to update system packages:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

Upgrading the system

It may take some time, depending on the number of packages to update. Once the operation is completed, let’s proceed to install Objection. To do this, just run the following command, assuming you are running pip as root:

sudo pip install objection

Installing Objection
