Dynamic Analysis of an iOS application

What you will learn:

• How to set up your working environment
• Dynamic analysis techniques to analyse a code being executed at runtime
• Patching and repackaging an application on a device with or without Jailbreak
• Instrument the application using FRIDA on a device with or without Jailbreak

This is a CrackMe-like challenge where flag(s) have to be found by only applying dynamic analysis tools and techniques.

You will have to patch the code and to analyse the application at runtime by debugging and instrumenting it using FRIDA.
