If you’re an app developer with a solid foundation in Objective-C, this book is an absolute must—chances are very high that your company’s iOS applications are vulnerable to attack. That’s because malicious attackers now use an arsenal of tools to reverse-engineer, trace, and manipulate applications in ways that most programmers aren’t aware of.
This guide illustrates several types of iOS attacks, as well as the tools and techniques that hackers use. You’ll learn best practices to help protect your applications, and discover how important it is to understand and strategize like your adversary.
- Examine subtle vulnerabilities in real-world applications—and avoid the same problems in your apps
- Learn how attackers infect apps with malware through code injection
- Discover how attackers defeat iOS keychain and data-protection encryption
- Use a debugger and custom code injection to manipulate the runtime Objective-C environment
- Prevent attackers from hijacking SSL sessions and stealing traffic
- Securely delete files and design your apps to prevent forensic data leakage
- Avoid debugging abuse, validate the integrity of run-time classes, and make your code harder to trace

Free Hacking and Securing iOS Applications: Stealing Data, Hijacking Software, and How to Prevent It
I work as a penetration tester, and have a background in development. I found this book to be *extremely* well written, full of useful tutorials on how to attack iOS, and even more importantly how to write your applications to be less susceptible to attack.
In addition, the author references many valuable tools that were new to me to use during your penetration tests that can uncover flaws and vulnerabilities (eg Cycript) in applications.
The author was formerly (and maybe still is) a member of one of the original iPhone jail-breaking groups, and his expertise shows. I've already recommended this book to 3 co-workers, and if you develop iOS apps you *need* to read this book to understand how attackers think and how they will attempt to break your application.
And, of course, if you are involved in performing iOS application security reviews or penetration tests, this is an EXCELLENT book that will walk you through how to perform seemingly complex attacks against applications. Great book!

Highly useful reading for everyone working with iOS security, either in IT Security or app development. It provides hugely insightful and deep descriptions of how iOS encryption works (among many other things). Every iOS app developer should read and understand these things in detail. And the balance of technical information and labs that the reader can work through (including downloadable source code examples) makes this a practical book for many people. If you work in iOS security at any level, there is no excuse for not reading this book.
