Projects


These “projects” are more like different things I’ve done/want to do that interest me. Not the kind I would write on my CV, more like things I put some time and effort in, and if anyone is interested I can write more about. Everything is for educational purposes only, so without further due, my “lab” projects:

iPhone developing/hacking

  • Get a jailbroken iphone – V
  • Study Objective-C basic syntax – V
  • Build saurik’s linux toolchain – V
  • Study OS X reversing basics – V
  • Understand ARM/Thumb assembly – For now, I use cheatsheets when needed (sucks)
  • Study Objective-C runtime basics – V
  • Find easy tool for converting Objective-C commands to ARM opcodes
  • Reverse & patch for fun (adding functionality, not cracking games!) – In progress
  • Understand binary signing process – I tried. TOO boring, even for me
  • Understand mach-o file structure and build “external code injector”

Miscellaneous

  • Code and contribute plugins to Vity’s FreeRapid Downloader – V
