elcome to the personal blog of Kurt Murrell (aka c8rri3r). In communications, a carrier wave is pure potential - an empty frequency, ready to be modulated, used to smuggle data through the air. That's the spirit here - a medium for transmitting code, concepts, and low-level findings to those tuning in.
This space is for hackers, reverse engineers, and anyone who pulls systems apart just to see what makes them tick. I’ll be sharing what I learn in the wild - tools, exploits, internals. No noise. Just signal.
In this post, I document my journey patching the Frida Java Bridge to fully support hooking JDK 17 (HotSpot) methods. While the GitHub issue #333 details the resultant solution, I wanted to document the process I underwent to find the solution, as well as the lessons learned along the way. Hopefully this will give the next hacker that undertakes porting Frida to newer versions of Java a head start.
