IOS Pentesting

IOS has long been a target for attackers, with several security breaches and casualties in the past, despite Apple’s stringent security measures and the App Store ecosystem. The goal of iOS Pentesting Training is to impart the expertise and skills needed to identify and take advantage of security flaws in actual iOS applications. This course teaches students to the security concepts related with iOS Apps written in Objective-C. The foundations of setting up a hacking environment are covered at first, and then the course gradually moves on to how security functions in iOS applications. This course covers a wide range of topics, including the structure of iOS applications, utilizing Hopper to reverse iOS apps, getting beyond client-side limitations like SSL pinning and jailbreak detection, etc. After completing this course, you should be able to conduct penetration tests on iOS mobile apps and identify any possible vulnerabilities in the program under investigation. After completing this course, you should be able to conduct penetration tests on iOS mobile apps and identify any possible vulnerabilities in the program under investigation.
