<strong>i<strong>OS</strong></strong> <strong>Kernel</strong>cache vs. IDA<br />

• IDA can load <strong>the</strong> <strong>i<strong>OS</strong></strong> kernelcache as an ARMv7 <strong>Mac</strong>h-O binary<br />

• however <strong>the</strong> autoanalysis will fail completely<br />

• large parts not analysed<br />

• functions not marked as functions<br />

• IDA clearly needs help<br />
