Devices & research setup

Connect an Android test environment for runtime work.

Prepare a test target

Use a dedicated Android device or emulator and a copy of an app you have permission to test. Back up any data you need. Runtime instrumentation may require root, an instrumentable app, or a compatible Frida setup; requirements depend on the target.

Connect the device

1. Enable developer options and USB debugging on the Android device.
2. Connect by USB and accept the debugging authorization prompt for your computer.
3. Open Morrigan’s device controls and confirm that the intended device is listed.
4. Check that the target app and instrumentation setup are available before starting runtime analysis.

Use static APK analysis if you cannot instrument the target. A failed attach or crash is not evidence that a target is secure or that a bypass worked.

Control the investigation

Use a scoped objective and inspect the agent’s tool activity. Morrigan can run tools and modify workspace files; do not assume every individual action asks for confirmation. Validate the resulting traces, scripts, and conclusions before use.
