iOS Kernel Utilities

Prerequisites

• Jailbroken Device
• task_for_pid0 kernel patch applied (probably the case if jailbroken)
• some way to compile iOS binaries (I use http://code.google.com/p/ios-toolchain-based-on-clang-for-linux/)
• ldid (http://gitweb.saurik.com/ldid.git), already included in the above toolchain

Tools

kdump - Tool to dump a running iOS kernel to a file kmap - Tool do visualize the kernel address space kpatch - Tool to apply patches to a running kernel kmem - Tool to dump kernel memory to the console

Build

adapt toolchain-ios.cmake
cd build
cmake ../
make

Beware, chances are the device will panic and reboot.
