"Corellium, a security research firm sued by Apple, has won a major legal victory against the iPhone maker. A federal judge in Florida threw out Apple’s claims that Corellium violated copyright law with its software, which helps security researchers find bugs and security holes."
This just in: @CorelliumHQ wins its copyright battle against Apple, a pretty surprising defeat in what was a very David v Goliath battle. washingtonpost.com/technolog…

I built an iOS kernel debugger called KTRW based on a KTRR bypass for the iPhone X. It is capable of patching kernel __TEXT_EXEC, loading kernel extensions, and performing single-step kernel debugging with LLDB and IDA Pro over USB: github.com/googleprojectzero…
