Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ios-pentesting-tricks scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

SKILL: iOS Pentesting Tricks — Expert Attack Playbook

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Expert iOS application security testing techniques. Covers jailbreak vs non-jailbreak methodology, keychain extraction, URL scheme/Universal Links abuse, Frida/Objection runtime hooks, binary protection checks, and data storage analysis. Base models miss protection class nuances and AASA misconfiguration patterns.

Before going deep, consider loading:

Advanced Reference

Also load IOS_RUNTIME_TRICKS.md when you need:

  • Frida recipes for iOS-specific hooks (ObjC class enumeration, method swizzling)
  • Objection command reference for iOS
  • Runtime hooking patterns and bypass templates

1. JAILBREAK VS NON-JAILBREAK TESTING

Capability Jailbroken Non-Jailbroken
SSL pinning bypass Frida, SSL Kill Switch 2, Objection Network debugging proxy, MITM profiles (limited)
Keychain access keychain-dumper, Frida dump Only via backup extraction (limited)
Filesystem inspection Full access to app sandbox Only via ideviceinstaller + backup
Runtime manipulation Frida, Cycript, LLDB attach Frida on sideloaded apps (re-signed)
Binary analysis Class-dump, Hopper on-device Decrypt IPA on Mac, analyze offline
Method hooking Full Frida/Cycript capability Limited (needs re-signed app + Frida gadget)

Non-Jailbreak Testing Setup

# Extract IPA from device
ideviceinstaller -l                    # List installed apps
ios-deploy --id <UDID> --download --bundle_id com.target.app

# Or use frida-ios-dump for decrypted IPA (jailbroken)
python dump.py com.target.app

# Sideload with Frida gadget (non-jailbreak runtime hooking)
# 1. Extract IPA, 2. Insert FridaGadget.dylib into Frameworks/
# 3. Re-sign with valid profile, 4. Install via ios-deploy

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
