iOS mobile application penetration testing with Frida and Objection on jailbroken or non-jailbroken devices. Use for static + dynamic analysis of IPAs, SSL pinning / jailbreak / biometric bypass, keychain & local-storage extraction, network interception, and OWASP MASTG iOS assessments. Triggers on requests to pentest iOS apps, analyze IPAs, bypass iOS security controls, or produce MASTG-aligned findings.

Workflow: IPA Decryption & Extraction

App Store binaries ship FairPlay-encrypted. Static analysis requires a decrypted Mach-O.

Prereqs

Jailbroken device with Frida server, SSH, and the app installed & launched at least once.

Steps

# Option A — frida-ios-dump
git clone https://github.com/AloneMonkey/frida-ios-dump
cd frida-ios-dump
python3 dump.py <bundle_id>              # yields <AppName>.ipa (decrypted)

# Option B — manual pull
ssh root@<device> "find /var/containers/Bundle/Application -maxdepth 3 -name '*.app'"
scp -r root@<device>:/var/containers/Bundle/Application/<UUID>/App.app .
# Decrypt each Mach-O slice using bagbak or Clutch (iOS ≤ 14) or frida-ios-dump (iOS 15+).

Verify Decryption

otool -l App.app/App | grep -A4 LC_ENCRYPTION_INFO
# cryptid 0 = decrypted; cryptid 1 = still encrypted

Post-decryption Parallel Analysis

Run concurrently:

  • class-dump -H App.app/App -o headers/
  • strings -a App.app/App > strings.txt
  • otool -L App.app/App and otool -hv App.app/App
  • Load into Hopper/Ghidra/IDA for function-level review.

Non-jailbroken Alternative — Frida Gadget

objection patchipa --source app.ipa --codesign-signature "Apple Development: <you>"
ios-deploy --bundle Payload/App.app
frida-ps -Uai            # Gadget shows as attachable

Does not decrypt FairPlay, but lets Frida attach on stock devices for dev/enterprise builds.
