Mercury is an Android Security Assessment Framework that allows bug hunters to find vulnerabilities, write proof-of-concept exploits and play in Android. Mercury was created by MWR Labs.

Mercury is the only framework allowing dynamic analysis of applications running on an Android device, from the context of another application.

This wiki is for developers who wish to write Mercury modules, or extend the Mercury core.

For more information on using Mercury, please visit the project website.

Mercury Developers

Mercury is designed to allow new functionality to be added through stand-alone modules. If you want to build new checks, exploits or tools you should start with a module. If what you want to do is simply not possible through the module interface, you may need to extend the core (this is easy too).

These guides explain how the Mercury system works, and how to build extensions:

• General Design
  • Console Design
  • Agent Design
  • Server Design
• Communication Protocol
• Writing a Module
