Trust me or not, I've actually paid for (some) Mac Apps even after having cracked them.You know sometimes you just feel that the developers deserve compensation for their work, i.e. I use a slightly patched version of SubEthaEdit (remove the "Highlight Syntax Warning" for big files and a few other small patches, that and... well the trial limit) but I did bought a license too.

I came across this very nice Blog about OS X reversing: http://reverse.put.as/, nice articles and very nice tips & tricks.I'm working on a "re-Method-izer" ATM, trying to get back high level objective C from a disassembly listing, written in PHP for rapid prototyping, I'm close to have something working... still need to sort out the getParentObject function/construct.I didn't implement any logic

Was able to get my hand on one of this babies... didn't spend tons of money for it (btw, I've billed myself 600$ for my own unlocking of the phone - since it seems to be the norm on the gray market....)Already installed the toolchain and compiled a few things for the phone and a few tools on MacOS (most notably otool-arm).So still no Essay1, busy with my new toy.... I'll try to get it ready for

In an effort to keep every (even loosely related) OS X Reversing Articles at hand, I've updated the Links PageStill working on Essay1, btw.

Yeah, I know Essay 1 isn't ready yet, have been busy with real life reversing for fun & profit.Just a quick post as a reminder to myself about two interesting articles:Objc/Cocoa Runtime Class Enumeration:Inside the Objective-C Runtime Part OneInside the Objective-C Runtime Part TwoUpdated Links page, too.BTW: Working on a otx' output parser, with the previous links, you may guess what I'm trying

The essay takes me more time to write that I first thought but I promise it'll be online for this weekend.

The target for the first essay will be Dashcode, Apple's tool to create Dashboard widgets. At the moment in beta, it will expire on 15th of July.Yes, as you may have found it by yourself, it's free software and Apple just put an expiration date to not have it float around when the final version is released. I'll not arm anyone's wallet with this first target...You may download Dashcode from here

This log's talk about software reversing on Mac OS X; disassembling, debugging, a bit of coding and other kinds of stuff that may fit.As I come from a "Windows School of Reversing" (greets to ORC+, Fravia, Spath and Frog's Print - you've showed me the light through the bits), I'll mainly do x86 binary reversing (thanks my employer for my new MacBook) but a lot of concepts should apply to PowerPC
