Performs runtime mobile security exploration of iOS applications using Objection, a Frida-powered toolkit that enables security testers to interact with app internals without jailbreaking. Use when assessing iOS app security posture, bypassing client-side protections, dumping keychain items, inspecting filesystem storage, and evaluating runtime behavior. Activates for requests involving iOS security testing, Objection runtime analysis, Frida-based iOS assessment, or mobile runtime exploration.
Works with
AI-first code editor with Composer
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionanalyzing-ios-app-security-with-objectionExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches analyzing-ios-app-security-with-objection from mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate analyzing-ios-app-security-with-objection. Access via /analyzing-ios-app-security-with-objection in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Use this skill when:
Do not use this skill on production devices without explicit authorization -- Objection modifies app runtime behavior and may trigger security monitoring.
pip install objectionpip install frida-toolsobjection patchipa to inject Frida gadget into IPAFor jailbroken devices:
# Install Frida server on device via Cydia/Sileo
# SSH to device and start Frida server
ssh root@<device_ip> "/usr/sbin/frida-server -D"
# Verify Frida connectivity
frida-ps -U # List processes on USB-connected device
For non-jailbroken devices (authorized testing):
# Patch IPA with Frida gadget
objection patchipa --source target.ipa --codesign-signature "Apple Development: [email protected]"
# Install patched IPA
ideviceinstaller -i target-patched.ipa
# Attach to running app by bundle ID
objection --gadget "com.target.app" explore
# Or spawn the app fresh
objection --gadget "com.target.app" explore --startup-command "ios hooking list classes"
Once attached, Objection provides an interactive REPL for runtime exploration.

# List files in app sandbox
ios plist cat Info.plist
