ios-pentesting-tricks

ios-pentesting-tricks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 55 tokens per session (3,639 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ios-pentesting-tricks, MIT.

A guide to testing iOS applications for weaknesses in device protections, stored data, links, runtime behavior, and network security. It explains differences between testing on jailbroken and non-jailbroken devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for authorized iOS penetration tests involving keychain data, URL schemes, universal links, runtime hooks, binary protections, and local storage.
Why use it?
It helps testers choose suitable methods when an app uses protections such as certificate pinning, jailbreak detection, or binary obfuscation.

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 2d 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.
