In general, I don’t use Drozer. And using this tool on macOS is unusual for me. If I do some “pentest things” I just take my Kali Linux with pre-installed Drozer and use it there. But the day has come, and I decided to install Drozer on my macOS. It was a real hell =)
I spent a lot of time trying to make it work. Eventually, I had to rewrite a piece of class loader script… A living hell! When everything started working right, I came up with a better way of installing Drozer on macOS and removed all this stuff . In fact, there are two good ways to do it. The Docker-way and the following one
You need to download the latest release. Don’t build this app from sources, it’s a wrong way!
$ mkdir drozer
$ wget https://github.com/FSecureLABS/drozer/releases/download/2.4.4/drozer-2.4.4-py2-none-any.whl
Create virtual environment with pipenv and install required dependencies.
$ pipenv --python 2.7
$ pipenv shell
(drozer) $ pipenv install protobuf
(drozer) $ pipenv install pyOpenSSL
(drozer) $ pipenv install Twisted
(drozer) $ pipenv install drozer-2.4.4-py2-none-any.whl
You can also use this Pipfile to install all these things with one shot
[[source]]
name = "pypi"
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true
[dev-packages]
[packages]
protobuf = "*"
pyopenssl = "*"
twisted = "*"
drozer = {path = "./drozer-2.4.4-py2-none-any.whl"}
[requires]
python_version = "2.7"
Let’s check if everything works fine
(drozer) $ drozer console connect --server <smartphone ip>
