Get started
Sometimes unicorn will crash on start when doing huge memory mapping, you can try to run it again, if it still can’t work, please contact me or create an issue, thanks.
- You can download the pre-released iblessing binary and enjoy it.
- run chmod +x for the binary
- For more tutorails, please check the Documentation & Help below.
How to Build

- Platform: macOS, Linux
To get started compiling iblessing, please follow the steps below:
git clone --recursive -j4 https://github.com/Soulghost/iblessing
cd iblessing

Basic ConceptsScanner
A scanner is a component used to output analysis report through static and dynamic analysis of binary files, for example, the objc-msg-xref scanner can dynamiclly analyze most objc_msgSend cross references.
[*] Scanner List:
- app-info: extract app infos
- objc-class-xref: scan for class xrefs
- objc-msg-xref: generate objc_msgSend xrefs record
- predicate: scan for NSPredicate xrefs and sql injection surfaces
- symbol-wrapper: detect symbol wrappersGenerator
A generator is a component that performs secondary processing on the report generated by the scanner, for example, it can generate IDA scripts based on the the objc-msg-xref scanner’s cross references report.
[*] Generator List:
- ida-objc-msg-xref: generator ida scripts to add objc_msgSend xrefs from objc-msg-xref scanner's report
- objc-msg-xref-server: server to query objc-msg xrefs
- objc-msg-xref-statistic: statistics among objc-msg-send reportsBasic Usage

Simple Mode
iblessing -m scan -i objc-msg-xref -f <path-to-binary>Anti-Wrapper Mode
iblessing -m scan -i objc-msg-xref -f WeChat -d 'antiWrapper=1'The anti-wrapper mode will detect objc_msgSend wrappers and make transforms, such as:
; __int64 __usercall objc_msgSend_X0_X22_X20@<X0>(void *obj@<X0>, const char *sel@<X22>, id anyObj@<X20>, ...) objc_msgSend_X0_X22_X20: MOV X1, X22 MOV X2, X20 B objc_msgSend Usage Example:
; __int64 __usercall objc_msgSend_X0_X22_X20@<X0>(void *obj@<X0>, const char *sel@<X22>, id anyObj@<X20>, ...)
objc_msgSend_X0_X22_X20:
MOV X1, X22
MOV X2, X20
B objc_msgSendThe report can be used by the generators, now let’s go.
Generate objc_msgSend Xrefs Query Server
You can start a server through iblessing’s objc-msg-xref-server generator to query all objc_msgSend xrefs.

Specify the Listening Host and Port
The default listening address is 127.0.0.1:2345, you can specify it by -d option.
iblessing -m generator -i objc-msg-xref-server -f <path-to-report-generated-by-objc-msg-xref-scanner>Usage Example
Notice: the objc-msg-xref is based on unicorn, to speed up the analyze, we do not follow any calls, so the result is partially missing.
iblessing -m generator -i objc-msg-xref-server -f WeChat_method-xrefs.iblessing.txt -d 'host=0.0.0.0;port=12345'Next you can open http://127.0.0.1:2345 with a browser to query any objc_msgSend xrefs you like:
[*]
Generate IDA Scripts for objc_msgSend xrefs
You can add objc_msgSend xrefs generated from objc-msg-xref scanner to make your reverse engineering journey more faster and comfortable.

iblessing -m generator -i ida-objc-msg-xref -f <path-to-report-generated-by-objc-msg-xref-scanner>Next open your IDA -> File -> Script File and load the script, this step may take a long time. And when it is done, you can find many xrefs for objc method:
[*]
Scan for symbol wrappers
A Mach-O file may contain multiple wrappers of commonly used dynamic library imported symbols, such as:
__text:00000001003842D8 sub_1003842CC ; CODE XREF: -[BDARVLynxTracker eventV3:params:adExtraData:]+168↑p __text:00000001003842D8 ; -[BDARVLynxTracker eventV3:params:adExtraData:]+214↑p ... __text:00000001003842D8 MOV X1, X27 __text:00000001003842DC MOV X2, X19 __text:00000001003842E0 B objc_msgSend We can convert the wrapper by usercall:
__text:00000001003842CC ; id __usercall objc_msgSend_61@<X0>(id@<X23>, const char *@<X28>, ...) __text:00000001003842CC _objc_msgSend_61 ; CODE XREF: -[BDARVLynxTracker eventV3:params:adExtraData:]+2CC↑p __text:00000001003842CC ; -[BDARVLynxTracker eventV3:params:adExtraData:]+320↑p ... __text:00000001003842CC MOV X0, X23 __text:00000001003842D0 MOV X1, X28 __text:00000001003842D4 B objc_msgSend The scanner can generate a report to record all wrappers, then you can use ida-symbol-wrapper-naming generator to generate ida scripts and implement this wrapper rename and prototype change.
