Finally, with @hw16, we managed to bypass the @Cloudflare mTLS protection after around 5 days of work. I'd like to share a few golden tips for bug bounty hunters who might face something similar in the future. But first, here's a quick summary:
The target was a banking app with multiple security layers:
• Heavy Frida detection mechanisms
• Strong root detection
• Google SafetyNet/Play Integrity checks
• Runtime hooking detection
• APK tampering protection (crashed immediately if repackaged/modified)
At first, @fridadotre was detected and crashed the app on my device but strangely worked on another device even though both had the same Android version, root method, Frida server version, and architecture. After investigation, we discovered the app had anti-hooking detection that triggered when using aggressive Frida hooks on sensitive KeyStore operations.
The Solution:
We wrote a minimal Frida script that:
1. Passively monitored certificate operations without modifying behavior
2. Intercepted KeyManagerFactory.init() - the exact moment when mTLS certificates are loaded
3. Extracted the X.509 client certificate and RSA private key (4096-bit)
4. Encoded them using Android's Base64 encoder
5. Formatted as PEM files ready for use
Found the mTLS certificate with a unique UUID-based alias in the Android KeyStore. The certificate was being dynamically loaded during the SSL handshake initialization
Extracted Files:
• client_cert.pem → Client certificate (valid for 2 years)
• client_key.pem → RSA private key (PKCS#8 format)
We then created a PKCS#12 bundle using OpenSSL to combine the certificate and key into a single file, which could be imported into various tools and browsers for testing or @Burp_Suite
Key Takeaway:
When facing anti-tampering mechanisms, be surgical hook only what you need, when you need it. Aggressive hooking triggers detection; passive monitoring flies under the radar.
This was an awesome challenge and my first time encountering such strong ssl Pinning defenses

A new NetExec module: certipy-find🔥
As ADCS is still configured insecurely in many environments, I decided to integrate the certipy find command into NetExec.
Now you can quickly find and enumerate vulnerable templates before bringing out the big guns.
This blog post about impostor certificates by @SquiblydooBlog is a gem and very relevant right now.
Or: How threat actors impersonate companies to obtain authenticode certificates for signing their malware.
And why revokation is important.

I am back to posting to https://t.co/V6g7G4R6rd in my free time (which I have again). I plan on adding new content relating to Active Directory & Azure AD (now Entra ID).
First up is "Entra & Azure Managed Access Revisited". This article expands on one I wrote years ago about how to jump from Azure AD/Entra ID to Azure. This new article covers managing Elevated Access as well as logging.
