One of the biggest players in mobile, Apple, has based each of their devices on one main Operating System. Known simply as “iOS”, the popular mobile operating system by Apple runs on their flagship mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad.
iOS is a closed source platform. This means that the source code of iOS is not shared publicly for anyone to view or make changes to. Closed source does not mean, however, that we cannot view specific pieces of the iOS structure – particularly the kernel, which is based on free, open sourced software. As will be discussed below, obtaining the F/OSS software that these pieces are built on and combining some professional software will allow us to gain great insight into the iOS kernel.
This article will show you step by step how to obtain, decrypt and extract a binary version of the iOS kernel with the help of Santoku-Linux 0.4.
