Palera1n & SSL Pinning / Reverse Cheatsheet

Jailbreak

  • Download latest release of palera1n.
  • Connect iphone to computer.
  • Jailbreak using palera1n --setup-fakefs --fakefs. This will setup fakefs to access to sudo later.
  • Once phone is running, run palera1n -f to load fakefs. Do it everytime you restart the phone to rejailbreak it, no need to do previous step if the phone wasn't reset.

Terminal

Connecting to SSH

  • Ensure openssh package is installed on Sileo
  • You can then connect to ssh mobile@IP
  • Password should be alpine

Access to sudo

  • Run sudo zsh and setup the sudo password

SSL Pinning

Changing root certificate

  • Download the certificate as a profile. Your proxy must have a way to do it.
  • Here is the full tutorial for me on Proxyman.
  • Follow the steps to the end, and you are done after enabling the cert in Settings -> General -> About -> Certificate Trust Settings.

SSL Kill Switch 2

  • Download the .deb latest release of ssl kill switch 2 on the phone.
  • Make sure package preferenceloader and dpkg are installed in Sileo.
  • dpkg -i com.nablac0d3.sslkillswitch2_0.14.deb (install package, doable with sileo, never tried).
  • killall -9 backboardd (resping, possible to do in palera1n app).
  • Go to Settings -> SSL Kill Switch 2 and enable Disable Certificate Validation.

Setting up the proxy

  • Go to Settings -> Wi-Fi
  • Click on the (i) n the line of the wifi you're connected to.
  • Scroll down to HTTP PROXY -> Configure Proxy -> Manual.
  • Set the local ip of your computer (192.168.1.???) and the port of the proxy.
  • Save.

Reverse

Installing frida on IOS

  • On Sileo, go to Sources -> +.
  • Add source https://build.frida.re.
  • Open the source once cloned, go to All Categories and install Frida.

Dumping IPA files

  • Must have frida on phone.
  • git clone https://github.com/AloneMonkey/frida-ios-dump
  • cd frida-ios-dump
  • pip install .
  • In a new terminal window, run iproxy 2222 22 (if you have issues further, try iproxy 2222 44, some jailbreak use different ports).
  • Run python dump.py <name app of identifier> -u mobile -P alpine
    • You can list apps with frida-ps -Uai for apps only (recommended), or frida-ps -U for all processes.
  • The app will be in the frida-ios-dump directory.
  • Unpack it using unzip <appname>.ipa.

Installing signature-corrupted IPAs

  • Add to sileo sources https://cydia.akemi.ai/.
  • From it, install Appsync Unified.
  • You can now install unisgned apps.
  • You can install them using the app described in the next section.
  • Navigate to the .ipa file, click on it, and on upper right corner, click Install.
  • If the app crashes when opening it:
    • In sileo, install TrollStore Helper.
    • Open the app TrollHelper, and install trollstore.
    • Open the app TrollStore, go to settings, in signing category, install Idid.
    • Go back to your .ipa file on filza -> Open in -> TrollStore -> (wait for a popup with infos of the app to appear) Install.
    • Now it should work.

Get a decent file browser (Filza)

  • Add to sileo sources http://tigisoftware.com/repo/.
  • From it, install Filza File Manager (64-bits or not, idk, i took 64 bits on iphone 7).
  • In it, you can find the ipa file you scped on the phone, and install it easily.
