You’ve just peered down the rabbit hole into the dark world of criminal hacking. If you’ve been shocked at the severity and ease of attacks that can target iOS and your applications, you’ll be somewhat relieved to know that the remainder of this book provides techniques to help make your code more resistant to attack. As was stated at the beginning of this book, an application can never be completely secure. A good secure coding strategy, then, is to work toward an increase in the amount of time it takes to breach an application, while simultaneously reducing the pool of skilled enough criminals who can carry out such an attack.
