Samenvatting

If you're an app developer with a solid foundation in Objective-C, this book is an absolute must-chances are very high that your company's iOS applications are vulnerable to attack. That's because malicious attackers now use an arsenal of tools to reverse-engineer, trace, and manipulate applications in ways that most programmers aren't aware of.

This guide illustrates several types of iOS attacks, as well as the tools and techniques that hackers use. You'll learn best practices to help protect your applications, and discover how important it is to understand and strategize like your adversary.

- Examine subtle vulnerabilities in real-world applications-and avoid the same problems in your apps
- Learn how attackers infect apps with malware through code injection
- Discover how attackers defeat iOS keychain and data-protection encryption
- Use a debugger and custom code injection to manipulate the runtime Objective-C environment
- Prevent attackers from hijacking SSL sessions and stealing traffic
- Securely delete files and design your apps to prevent forensic data leakage
- Avoid debugging abuse, validate the integrity of run-time classes, and make your code harder to trace

Over Jonathan Zdziarski

Jonathan Zdziarski is better known as the hacker "NerveGas" in the iPhone development community. He is well known for his work in cracking the iPhone and lead the effort to port the first open source applications. Hailed on many geek news sites for his accomplishments, Jonathan is best known for the first application to illustrate and take full advantage of the major iPhone APIs: NES.app, a portable Nintendo Entertainment System emulator. Jonathan is also a full-time research scientist and longtime spam-fighter. He is founder of the DSPAM project, a high profile, next-generation spam filter that was acquired in 2006 by a company designing software accelerators. He lectures widely on the topic of spam and is a foremost researcher in the fields of machine-learning and algorithmic theory.
