## What it is
A free, open-source online course teaching reverse engineering of iOS applications across five modules, from environment setup to binary patching. It uses a deliberately vulnerable fake iOS app to demonstrate real-world vulnerabilities found in production App Store apps.

## Use cases
- learn how to reverse engineer iOS apps
- decrypt iOS applications from the App Store
- perform static and dynamic analysis of iOS apps
- learn iOS app security testing
- practice binary patching on iOS binaries
- get started with iOS bug bounty research

## When to choose
- you want a free, structured, step-by-step introduction to iOS reverse engineering
- you learn best from written tutorials with hands-on exercises
- you want to study real-world iOS vulnerabilities from production apps

## When to avoid
- you need formal instructor support or certification
- you require Android or cross-platform mobile RE coverage
- you need a maintained tool rather than educational material

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: reverse-engineering, security, penetration-testing
- domain: reverse-engineering, security, tutorials, apple-ecosystem
- platform: -
- tags: ios-app-security, online-course, mobile-security, static-analysis, dynamic-analysis, binary-patching, ios, macos
