Hello dev.to community!
I'm excited to announce Project FRIDA, an open-source, cross-platform system monitoring and data collection framework written in Rust. FRIDA is designed for security research, corporate device management, and parental control scenarios—prioritizing safety, performance, and operational stealth.
🦀 Why Rust?
Rust’s memory safety, strong typing, and async capabilities make it the perfect language for building reliable, low-footprint monitoring tools. FRIDA leverages Rust’s ecosystem to deliver robust monitoring with minimal system impact.
🌟 Key Features
- Keylogger: Real-time, secure keyboard input logging
- Device Monitor: USB/hardware event tracking and inventory
- Drive Analysis: Filesystem and storage mapping
- Process Inspector: Live process monitoring and Python-based scripting
- File Scanner: Sensitive file/content detection (SSH keys, docs, images, etc.)
- Network Exfiltration: Secure, JSON-based remote transfer
- 🖼️ Screen Capture (NEW!): Cross-platform screenshot capture for Windows, macOS, and Linux, powered by the screenshots crate
- Task Scheduler: Efficient async runtime using Tokio 🌍 Cross-Platform by Design FRIDA is built to work seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux. The new screen capture module ensures you can visually monitor endpoints regardless of OS.
