With the release of MacOS Ventura and iOS 16 Apple has once again raised the bars in terms of kernel level security. This course will introduce you to the low level internals of the MacOS and iOS kernels from the perspective of a security researcher interested in kernel level vulnerability analysis, kernel rootkit/malware analysis/detection or general kernel security topics. This course will cover MacOS Ventura on x86_64 and ARM64 architecture and iOS 16. Because many Apple security enhancements are ARM64 specific we concentrate on the ARM64 platform.
This training will be held virtually in June 2023 via Zoom Sessions with support via a Discord server. For 5 days there will be daily live training sessions around 5h in length (with a 30min break in the middle). In addition to that all trainees will receive 1-2 weeks before the course a multi hour set of introduction videos they need to work through before the course. This course is targeted at security researchers that want to dive into MacOS or iOS kernel security topics.
The course will focus on ARM64 MacOS and therefore we recommend to perform all training excercises on an ARM64 MacOS device. However x86_64 MacOS topics will also be discussed and can be used as backup system. Furthermore iOS security specifics will also be covered by the course, if they are different from the MacOS way.
The following list of topics shows what will be covered by the course.
The training sessions will be held via Zoom video conferencing. Training sessions will be around 5 hours per training day. In addition to that trainees will get access to a few hours worth of introductory videos.
Furthermore trainees get access to a Discord server that will be used to post information regarding the training and will be used to discuss exercises and their solution, unless those will be covered via Zoom.
All training sessions will be recorded and made available as videos until 5 days after the training. During that time trainees can rewatch sessions as often as they want.
