Reverse engineering
The process of collecting the source code from a binary is called reverse engineering. It is a combination of system analysis and static code analysis. It is the art of deducing the app implementation and design details of a given target app. In this section, we will walk through a step-by-step process for reverse engineering a given iOS app by extracting the class information and understand any leakage through comments, hardcoded message as well as memory protection.
Extracting the class information
In order to gain better understanding of the target app regarding any kind of information that can be potentially exploited and also understand if there are any vulnerable classes, we will use class-dump (32 bit) or class-dump-z ...
