FBUnpinner

Works for Instagram & Facebook

SUPPORTS:
TLS1.3 & TLS1.2 for x86/ARM32/ARM64
Instagram x86 currently does not work, feel free to open a pull request :)


A script to automate removing certificate pinning defense from Facebook applications.

TESTED FOR THE FOLLOWING APPS:

  • com.facebook.katana (Facebook for Android)
  • com.facebook.orca (Messenger)
  • com.facebook.lasso (Lasso)
  • com.instagram.android (Instagram for Android)

How-to

[REQUIRES ROOT]
  • Note: for Instagram replace lib-xzs/libcoldstart.so with lib-zstd/libliger.so
  1. Make sure you have run the desired Facebook application atleast once - what happens is that the cert pinning library (libcoldstart.so) is unpacked from an archive embedded in the APK.

  2. Get root shell in your device:

$(comp): adb shell
$(phone): su
  1. Pull libcoldstart.so from your desired Facebook application:

    ​ Before version 255 path: /data/data/com.facebook.katana/lib-xzs/libcoldstart.so

#(phone): cp /data/data/com.facebook.katana/lib-superpack-xz/libcoldstart.so /sdcard/libcoldstart.so
#(phone): exit
$(phone): exit
$(comp): adb pull /sdcard/libcoldstart.so FBUnpinner/
  1. Patch the file:
$ python3 patch.py

OR:

$ python3 patch.py libliger.so libliger-patched.so
  1. Replace libcoldstart.so in the phone with the patched version:
$(comp): adb push libcoldstart-patched.so /sdcard/libcoldstart.so
$(comp): adb shell
$(phone): su
#(phone): cp /sdcard/libcoldstart.so /data/data/com.facebook.katana/lib-superpack-xz/libcoldstart.so
#(phone): chmod 777 /data/data/com.facebook.katana/lib-superpack-xz/libcoldstart.so
  1. (Optional) Setting up Burp to work with TLS 1.3 ("no cipher suites in common")
<path_to_jdk>/jdk-11.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -jar burpsuite_community.jar
