Live On-Site / Live Virtual
Gain deep insights into iOS internals, including security features and kernel and userland components, as part of becoming a Certified iOS Security Researcher (CISR). Learn essential skills such as reverse engineering, interpreting kernel panic reports to identify root causes, and developing proof-of-concept (POC) exploits to demonstrate real-world impact. Build proficiency in programming to leverage technical expertise for analyzing vulnerabilities and reviewing patches in the XNU codebase.
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the internals of the iOS operating system and its security features. The course will cover topics such as the iOS operating system architecture, memory management, application sandboxing, code signing and more.
Students will learn the fundamental concepts and tools used in reverse engineering, and get a thorough introduction to the ARM64 architecture, including static and dynamic analysis techniques, as well as various debugging and disassembly tools. Exploit mitigations such as SPTM, TXM, PAC, PAN, PPL will also be discussed. Additionally, the course covers iOS application security, including topics such as encryption, and secure communication.
Students will learn how to use Frida, a dynamic instrumentation framework, for reverse engineering and dynamic analysis of mobile applications. We will also discuss advanced topics such as hooking,memory manipulation, and instrumenting network communication.
This course will also discuss the tools and techniques used for analyzing iOS malware. The course will also cover the different stages of iOS malware analysis, including static, dynamic, and behavioral analysis. Additionally, the course will walk the attendees through different methods of mitigating and preventing iOS malware.
This course will be a mix of lectures, practical labs, and projects designed to give students hands-on experience with iOS internals and iOS application security. Students will gain the skills needed to reverse engineer, design, develop, and secure iOS applications.

While prior experience is helpful, the course is designed to accommodate various skill levels. It provides a structured learning path, starting from foundational concepts and progressing to advanced techniques.
The preparation time for the Certification varies based on your individual learning pace and level of engagement post-training. On average, participants spend a few days to several weeks preparing, which includes both theoretical learning and hands-on lab practice. It is recommended to spend at least 2-3 weeks practicing before attempting the Certification Exam after the training.
No, the training that you purchase from 8kSec, including the course materials is exclusively for your individual use. You may not reproduce, distribute or display (post/upload) lecture notes, or recordings, or course materials in any other way — whether or not a fee is charged – without the express written consent of 8kSec.
