For this section the tool Objection is going to be used.
Start by getting an objection's session executing something like:

objection -d --gadget "iGoat-Swift" explore
objection -d --gadget "OWASP.iGoat-Swift" explore

You can execute also frida-ps -Uia to check the running processes of the phone.

Basic Hooking

Now that you have enumerated the classes and modules used by the application you may have found some interesting class and method names.

Hook all methods of a class

  • ios hooking watch class <class_name>: Hook all the methods of a class, dump all the initial parameters and returns

    ios hooking watch class iGoat_Swift.PlistStorageExerciseViewController
    

Hook a single method

  • ios hooking watch method "-[<class_name> <method_name>]" --dump-args --dump-return --dump-backtrace: Hook an specific method of a class dumping the parameters, backtraces and returns of the method each time it's called

    ios hooking watch method "-[iGoat_Swift.BinaryCookiesExerciseVC verifyItemPressed]" --dump-args --dump-backtrace --dump-return
    

Change Boolean Return

  • ios hooking set return_value "-[<class_name> <method_name>]" false: This will make the selected method return the indicated boolean

    ios hooking set return_value "-[iGoat_Swift.BinaryCookiesExerciseVC verifyItemPressed]" false
    

Generate hooking template

  • ios hooking generate simple <class_name>:

    ios hooking generate simple iGoat_Swift.RCreditInfo
