iextractor

iExtractor is a specialized toolset designed for automating the extraction of data from Apple’s iOS firmware files (IPSW), primarily aimed at security researchers and developers. It facilitates the unpacking, decryption, and retrieval of critical components such as filesystem content, kernel caches, dynamic libraries, and sandbox profiles from these firmware packages, providing a comprehensive output for analysis. Notable features include compatibility with both macOS and Linux environments, as well as the need for external utilities for full functionality, emphasizing its reliance on open-source scripts and tooling.
