This script inspects iOS application binaries to uncover usage of insecure functions, implementation of weak cryptography, encryption status, and the presence of security features like Position Independent Executable (PIE), Stack Canaries, and Automatic Reference Counting (ARC).

• Quick static analysis of iOS binaries
• Checks for various iOS binary security features (encryption, PIE, Stack Canaries, ARC)
• Detection of weak cryptographic methods (MD5, SHA1)
• Identification of commonly misused and insecure functions

1. 📲 Jailbreak your iOS device.
2. 🛠️ Install otool: This can be done through the Cydia package manager.
   • Add the following repository in Cydia: http://apt.thebigboss.org/repofiles/cydia/
   • Search for and install the Big Boss Recommended Tools package.
   • Alternatively, search for and install the Darwin CC Tools package.
   • If your device is set up with SSH and command line access, you can also install otool via command line using: apt install otool

The binary should be located within the /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/XXXXXXX/<APP-PATH>/ directory.
