Apple

’s

MacOS

and

iOS

operating systems are often praised for their security. Yet vulnerabilities in both operating systems are regularly being found and exploited, especially by more advanced attackers.

In a paper presented at VB2019 in London,

Trend Micro

researchers Lilang Wu and Moony Li explained how researchers like them hunt for such vulnerabilities and how this hunting can be made both smarter and more automatic.

The reverse engineering solution for kernel and kextentions.

Today we publish the researchers’ paper in both

format as well as the recording of their VB2019 presentation.
