Reverse Engineering iOS Apps

This paper serves as an introduction to the tools and techniques available on the Mac OS X operating system for vulnerability analysis. It is particularly targeted for those security researchers already familiar with tools for Windows and/or Linux. It also reveals tools that are only found on Mac OS X and how they can be used to find security flaws, especially those that can be used in conjunction with fuzzing. Finally, it introduces a few tools recently ported from Windows to Mac OS X, pydbg and PaiMei.
