re-format-macho

re-format-macho is a skill for Claude Code from dslsdzc/rev-skills. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,714 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to the Mach-O file format used by macOS and iOS programs, libraries and frameworks. It covers load commands, segments, dynamic-library dependencies, code signatures and multiple-architecture files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Analysing executable files and libraries, checking architecture slices, inspecting dependencies and load commands, reviewing signatures, and investigating possible dynamic-library injection.
Why use it?
It gives developers the platform-specific structure and tools needed to inspect Apple binaries and spot unusual library loading or signing details.

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

re-format-macho scanned grade A with 0 findings 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Mach-O 格式解析

何时使用 / 何时不用

  • 用:目标是 macOS/iOS 的 Mach-O 二进制(可执行文件/.dylib/.bundle/Framework),需要理解结构、load commands、入口、代码签名、动态库依赖链
  • 用:检查 dylib 注入(LC_LOAD_DYLIB 异常条目)、签名/公证状态、通用二进制多架构片
  • 不用:PE(走 [[re-format-pe]])、ELF(走 [[re-format-elf]])
  • 不用:只需函数逻辑(直接反编译技能);iOS 越狱环境问题属 [[re-mobile]] 域

工具准备

参考 [[platform-tips]] macOS 分支——attach/调试受 SIP 与 TCC 限制;静态解析不受影响。

otool(Apple 自带)

  • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install
  • 验证: otool --version
  • Linux 替代: llvm-otoolapt install llvm / brew install llvm / pacman -S llvm),功能覆盖 otool 常用子命令

llvm-objdump(跨平台)

  • macOS: brew install llvm;Linux: apt install llvm / dnf install llvm / pacman -S llvm
  • 验证: llvm-objdump --version
  • 用法: llvm-objdump --macho --private-headers sample(Linux 上可直接解析 Mach-O,与 macOS 输出一致)

jtool2(深入 Mach-O 结构,macOS)

  • macOS: 从 GitHub(intezer/jtool2)clone 后 make,或下载 release 二进制
  • 验证: jtool2 -h sample 输出 load commands

codesign / lipo(macOS 自带)

  • 验证: codesign --versionlipo -info sample
  • Linux 替代: llvm-lipo -info sample(llvm 自带)

dyld_shared_cache_util(macOS)

  • 系统自带(/usr/bin/dyld_shared_cache_util);用途: 解析 dyld 共享缓存中的系统 dylib 时把单个库抽出来

操作步骤

  1. 初勘(先确认类型与架构)

    file sample                  # 可执行文件 / dylib / 通用二进制 / 字节序
    lipo -info sample            # 通用二进制列出各架构片;单架构提示 "non-fat file"
    xxd -l 16 sample             # 魔数: cffaedfe=64位小端, feedfacf=64位大端, cebafaed=32位小端, cafebabe=fat
    

    魔数(文件里看到的字节):cffa edfe(MH_MAGIC_64)、cefa edfe(MH_MAGIC 32 位)、cafe babe(FAT,后跟 4 字节架构数)。通用二进制先 lipo -thin <arch> -output piece sample 提取单片再解析。

  2. mach_header 与 load commands(核心)

    otool -h sample                 # magic/cputype/filetype/ncmds/flag 一行全出
    otool -l sample | head -80      # 全部 load commands
    

    64 位 mach_header 固定 32 字节(32 位为 28 字节):magic(4) + cputype(4) + cpusubtype(4) + filetype(4) + ncmds(4) + sizeofcmds(4) + flags(4) + reserved(4,仅 64 位)。load commands 是 Mach-O 的"节表+导入表+入口+签名"综合体——从头到尾按 cmdsize 顺序遍历,ncmds 计数、sizeofcmds 为总字节数,两者互相校验。filetype: 2=MH_EXECUTE 6=MH_DYLIB 8=MH_BUNDLE。常见 LC 值与字段表见 [[layout]]。

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.
