Phone Hacking! Penetration Testing for i. Phone Applications – Part 1. This article focuses specifically on the techniques and tools that will help security professionals understand penetration testing methods for i. Phone applications. It attempts to cover the entire application penetration testing methodology on a physical device (running with i. OS 5) rather than a simulator. Background: Since the introduction of the i.
Phone, Apple has sold more than 1. Phones. The smartphone platform has created a new business and companies want to make their services available on mobile devices in order to reach out to users very quickly and easily. The i. Phone has enough power and performance to do most of the stuff you can do on a laptop and span a range of categories from education and productivity to games and entertainment. The i. Phone provides developers with a platform to develop two types of applications. Web based applications – which uses Java. Script, CSS and HTML- 5 technologies.

Native i. OS applications- which are developed using Objective- C and Cocoa touch APIThis article mainly covers the pen testing methodology of native i. OS applications. However, some of the techniques explained here can also be used with web- based i. OS applications. i.
OS developers use Apple Xcode developer tools and test their applications within the i. OS simulator. A simulator simulates an environment but it does not mimic many of the features and functionalities available on real devices. An i. OS simulator compiles i. OS applications to a local native code which is different from the Android emulator that compiles to ARM instructions. Though simulators allow basic development and testing, it is not sufficient for many applications which require the use of full hardware power, performance and features which are only available on real devices.
To test these types of applications on real devices, developers have to subscribe to Apple’s i. OS Developer Program because the i. Phone is only allowed to run Apple signed applications. Mandatory Code Signing mechanism implemented in i. OS requires that all the native code running on the device should be signed by a known or trusted certificate.
Upon subscription to the i. OS Developers Program, Apple issues a signed provisioning profile that configures the i.
OS device to permit the execution of code signed by a developer certificate. Developers can apply for this program as an individual, company or university.
Based on the provisioning profile, application distribution models are categorized as 5 types. Single device distribution: Development provisioning profiles issued by Apple are tied to a device’s UDID (Unique Device ID). This provisioning profile allows running a developer’s application on the device. As it is tied to a particular device, the provisioning profile does not work on other devices. This model is used during single device testing. Ad Hoc distribution: Ad Hoc provisioning profiles issued by Apple are tied to the UDID’s of up to 1.
Pad, i. Phone or i. Pod touch. The developer has to supply the UDID of 1. This model allows developers to test their application on a wide range of devices. In- house distribution: Enterprise provisioning profiles issued by Apple permit the installation of applications on devices without configuring their UDIDs.
This distribution is generally used by enterprises to distribute applications internally to their employees. Over the air (OTA) distribution: This model is designed to allow enterprise developers to send applications to individual users in their organization through e- mail or by hosting the application on a web server.
The main problem with this kind of distribution is if someone outside the organization gets access to the link then they too can also install the application. App Store distribution. This is a centralized mechanism for distributing Apple signed applications. Upon submitting the application to Apple, Apple verifies it against the App Store review guidelines and approves it if the application follows all the review guidelines.
After approval, Apple will re- sign the application with an Apple signing certificate and make it available for download in the App Store. Penetration Testing. In this section we are going to focus on i. OS applications rather than the i. Phone operating system itself.
Actually there is an overlap between the i. Phone OS security and the i. Phone application security.
So understanding the i. OS platform and its security technology will help penetration testers properly assess the security of i. Phone applications. The main areas of focus while assessing the security of i. Phone applications are –Application traffic analysis. Privacy Issues. Local Data Storage. Caching. Reverse Engineering.
Unmanaged code. URL Schemes. Push Notifications. Setup: A simulator does not provide the actual device environment, so all the penetration testing techniques explained in this article are specific to a physical device.
Phone 4 with i. OS 5 will be used for the following demonstrations. To perform pentesting we need to install a few tools on our device.
These tools are not approved by Apple. Code signing restrictions in i.
OS do not allow us to install the required tools on the device. To bypass the code signing restrictions and run our tools we have to Jail. Break the i. Phone. Jail. Breaking gives us full access to the device and allows us to run code which is not signed by Apple. After Jail. Breaking, the required unsigned applications can be downloaded from Cydia. Cydia is a parallel App Store for unsigned applications. Jail. Breaking puts your phone at great risk to some security vulnerabilities because the device allows any application to run even if it is not approved by Apple.
Though we can assess the security of an application on a non- Jail. Broken i. Phone, it is not possible to give complete coverage. Jail. Breaking makes the pen tester’s work easier and helps to provide full coverage of an application.
Tools like Pwnage, readsn. Jail. Break the i. Phone. Tools required for pentesting: From Cydia, download and install the applications listed below. Open. SSH – Allows us to connect to the i. Phone remotely over SSHAdv- cmds : Comes with a set of process commands like ps, kill, finger…Sqlite.
Sqlite database client. GNU Debugger: For run time analysis & reverse engineering. Syslogd : To view i. Phone logs. Veency: Allows to view the phone on the workstation with the help of veency client. Tcpdump: To capture network traffic on phonecom. Grep: For searching. Odcctools: otool – object file displaying tool.
Crackulous: Decrypt i. Phone apps. Hackulous: To install decrypted appsi.
Phone does not give us a terminal to see inside directories. Upon Open. SSH installation on the device, we can connect to the SSH server on the phone from any SSH client (ex: Putty, Cyber. Duck, Win. Scp). This gives us flexibility to browse through folders and execute commands on the i. Phone. An i. Phone has two users by default. One is mobile and the other is a root user. All the applications installed on the phone run with mobile user privileges.
But using SSH we can log into the i. Phone as a root user, which will give us full access to the device. The default password for both the user accounts (root, mobile) is alpine. Note: Best practice is to change the default SSH passwords of your device.
If your phone and the workstation are connected to Wi- Fi, you can directly SSH to the i. Phone by typing in the IP address and username/password.
SSH to i. Phone over Wi- Fi: If your phone and the workstation are not on Wi- Fi, you can still do SSH via the USB cable with the help of an i. Phone tunnel (which can be downloaded from – http: //code. SSH to i. Phone over USB cable: Once we have a SSH connection, we can run commands directly on the i.
Phone. As i. OS is a trimmed version of Mac OS , many of the MAC OS commands will work on the i. Phone. Application traffic analysis. Pen testing i. Phone applications isn’t all that different because client- side applications still interact with the server- side components over a network using some protocols. So it also involves network pentesting and web application pentesting.
The primary goal in traffic analysis is to capture and analyze the network traffic to find vulnerabilities. Phone applications may transmit data to the server in any of these communication mechanisms: Clear text transmission, such as http. Encrypted channel, such as https. Custom protocols or Low level streams.
How to use Cool. Booter CLI to dual- boot your device. You may have seen my report on the Cool. Booter updates, in which I mentioned that both the app and the command line versions had seen changes. Whilst using the Cool. Booter app is self- explanatory and will satisfy the needs of most, it does not currently support i. OS 5 as the secondary OS, which may lead some to want to try out the command line utility instead.
I will therefore be walking you through using Cool. Booter CLI 0. 3 to dual- boot your device. Before we begin, let’s get the standard disclaimer out of the way. This is BETA software and a COMMAND LINE TOOL, not a finished app for end users. Test only on non- essential devices, which you are happy to completely restore if something goes wrong. Back up your data before beginning.
Next up, make sure that you have an eligible device, and understand Cool. Booter’s restrictions. That information can be found in my previous article, but consists mainly of: An eligible 3.
An eligible, and jailbroken, source firmware. At least 6. GB of free space. The larger capacity device the better, especially when using the CLI version.
Blobs not needed. In addition, for this guide you will need: A computer to run the commands to your connected device. Cool. Booter CLI and its dependencies installed on your i. OS device from Cydia.
Open. SSH and its dependencies installed on your i. OS device from Cydia. How to dual- boot with Cool. Booter CLI1) Open Cydia on your i. OS device and add the following source: https: //coolbooter. Install Cool. Booter CLI (and any dependencies it requires).
If you haven’t already installed and set up Open. SSH (and any dependencies it requires) do so now. Open Settings on your i.
OS device and take note of your IP address, as seen above. If you don’t know how to configure Open. SSH or find your IP address, follow our guide on the topic to get started.
CHANGE YOUR DEFAULT PASSWORDS AFTER INSTALLING OPENSSH. The linked article will help you do this too. Connect your device to your computer. On your computer, launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities, or via Spotlight. This guide assumes you are using a Mac, though Windows and Linux should work fine too using their own Terminal equivalent, provided they support Open. SSH. 6) SSH into your device from the Terminal window on your computer.
Use the instructions linked in the guide in Step 4 to do this if necessary. Once you’ve connected via SSH and are root on your i. OS device, type the following command into Terminal to view Cool.
Booter CLI’s options: coolbootercli. As can be seen from the readout, the command we need is: coolbootercli i.
OS_version_here. Replace i. OS_version_here with a compatible destination firmware of your choice. Depending on your device, it could be anything from i. OS 5. 0- 7. 1. 2.
On my example device I wanted to dual- boot with i. OS 7. 1. 2, so my command looked like this: coolbootercli 7. Hit Enter to issue the command, and let Cool. Booter CLI work its magic. This can take a while as it includes downloading the IPSW, pushing it to the device, partitioning the device, and stashing. When it’s complete, it should say Installation succeeded. Now enter the following command into your Terminal SSH session to reboot your device to its new secondary OS: coolbootercli - b. You may need to lock your device after issuing the command.
When the output reaches the stage shown below, you may need to attempt to unlock your device again to allow it to continue. This may not be necessary however. And this should be the glorious result! Rebooting from i. OS 9. 0. 2 straight into i.
OS 7. 1. 2. 1. 3) Please note, if you had no password set on the source firmware, do not set one on the destination firmware. It’s also not recommended to sign into i. Cloud on the secondary OS. To get back to the source firmware, simply turn off your device manually and then boot it again.
Removing Cool. Booter CLIIf the music’s stopped and the fun’s over, or if this doesn’t work for you and you want to revert your changes, follow the instructions below. Boot to the primary OS and connect to your device via SSH from your computer, as detailed in Steps 4- 6 of the installation process.
Once connected to your device, enter the following command to uninstall Cool. Booter and repartition your device back to a single- boot system: coolbootercli - u. Wait for Terminal to report that the uninstallation is complete. You can now open Cydia, and uninstall Cool.
Booter CLI and its dependencies. You can remove the source repository too. This step is optional, and just tidies up for those who are scrupulous about these things. That’s about it. In general, I recommend using the Cool.
Booter application instead of the CLI version if it supports your desired destination firmware. This is because it offers better error reporting and can be done on- device, without a computer and SSH.
However, sometimes the CLI version runs ahead of the app, for example at present with its support for i. OS 5. At these times, curious users and developers may want to give the CLI version a go. If you get into trouble or a boot loop, think about your options before blindly restoring.
Do you have blobs? Remember the i. OS 9 re- restore bug, and the i.
OS 5 re- restore bug, and consider whether they can help you out, and prevent you from having to restore to an unsigned, unjailbroken firmware. Have you tried out Cool. Booter CLI, or even the normal Cool. Booter app? Which device and firmwares did you test on, and how did it go?
