A command-line reverse engineering tool that restores stripped Objective-C symbol tables in iOS Mach-O binaries. It injects OC method and block symbols back into the binary so developers can set symbolic breakpoints with lldb.

Use cases

  • restore stripped symbols in an iOS app binary
  • debug an iOS app with lldb using symbolic breakpoints
  • inject Objective-C block symbols found via IDA into a mach-o file
  • analyze a third-party iOS app's internal method calls
  • re-sign and install a symbol-restored app bundle on an iPhone

When to choose

  • you need to reverse engineer or debug a stripped iOS app with lldb
  • you want to restore Objective-C method and block symbols in a mach-o binary
  • you already use IDA and want to enrich symbols for analysis

When to avoid

  • you need to restore symbols for non-Apple platforms or non-Objective-C binaries
  • you want a maintained tool with an active release cycle or license
  • you need a GUI-based reverse engineering workflow
