This pull request adds a detailed guide on using Radare2 (
r2) for static analysis of iOS applications in theMASTG-TECH-0066.mdfile. The guide focuses on identifying relevant functions, analyzing strings, inspecting disassembly, and finding cross-references to enhance reverse engineering capabilities.This section aligns with the way we're currently using r2 in the MASTG demos.
Introduction to Radare2: Added an overview of Radare2 as a reverse engineering framework and instructions for using its visual mode for interactive analysis.
Identifying Relevant Functions:
aflcommand for listing and filtering functions by name, with examples for cryptographic functions likeSecKeyCreateRandomKey.f), string searches (/,/z,iz~), and cross-references (axt).Analyzing Strings: Detailed the use of
izandizzcommands to list strings in the binary and/for direct string searches, with filtering options for precision.Analyzing Cross-References: Added guidance on using the
axtcommand to find cross-references to functions or strings, helping trace their usage in the
