# Apple Firmware Inspector Install: `brew install blacktop/tap/ipsw`. When a device target is needed, resolve current identifiers with `ipsw device-list` or live data. Do not copy stale iPhone identifiers. ## Workflows Firmware: ```bash ipsw download ipsw --device "$DEVICE" --latest ipsw download ipsw --device "$DEVICE" --latest --kernel --dyld ipsw extract --kernel "$LATEST_IPSW" ipsw extract --dyld --dyld-arch arm64e "$LATEST_IPSW" ipsw extract --kernel --remote <IPSW_URL> ``` Userspace / dyld shared cache: ```bash DSC=/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/System/Library/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_arm64e ipsw dyld a2s "$DSC" 0xADDR ipsw dyld symaddr "$DSC" "_symbol" --image Some.framework/Some ipsw dyld disass "$DSC" --vaddr 0xADDR ipsw dyld disass "$DSC" --symbol "_symbol" --image Some.framework/Some ipsw dyld xref "$DSC" 0xADDR --all ipsw dyld dump "$DSC" 0xADDR --size 256 ipsw dyld str "$DSC" "pattern" --image Some.framework/Some ipsw dyld objc --class "$DSC" --image Some.framework/Some ipsw dyld extract "$DSC" Some.framework/Some -o ./out/ ``` Kernel/KEXT: ```bash ipsw kernel kexts kernelcache.release.$DEVICE ipsw kernel extract kernelcache sandbox --output ./kexts/ ipsw kernel syscall kernelcache ipsw kernel kexts --diff "kernelcache_old" "kernelcache_new" ``` Entitlements: ```bash ipsw macho info --ent /path/to/binary ipsw ent --sqlite ent.db --ipsw "$LATEST_IPSW" ipsw ent --sqlite ent.db --key "com.apple.private.security.no-sandbox" ``` Class dump: ```bash ip
