IPSW rule base collector

Anubis – Automated IPSW Data Harvester

Anubis is an automated collection framework for extracting data from binary files. It supports various collection methods, including regex searching, symbol extraction, class dumping, and IDA-based analysis.

---

Collectors

• Regex-Based File Search – Locate patterns in files using ripgrep.
• Class Dump Extraction – Extract Objective-C class information from Mach-O binaries.
• Protocol selectors Extraction – Extract Objective-C selectors of given protocol.
• Plist Conversion – Convert property list (plist) files to structured YAML format.
• Section Extraction – Retrieve specific sections from Mach-O binaries.
• Symbol Extraction – Extract function symbols from binaries using nm.
• Strings Extraction – Extract and filter strings from binaries using regex patterns.
• Register Tracking (Experimental) – Analyze register values within functions using IDA Pro.
• Binary Export (Not supported on IDA 9+) – Extract and export binary analysis results from IDA Pro.

Installation

1. Install Dependencies

brew install yq ripgrep libmagic

2. Install Anubis.

python3 -m pip install anubis-ipsw

To use the IDA-based collectors, anubis must be installed on the same Python interpreter as IDA. You can select the correct interpreter using the idapyswitch utility.

Usage

Running Collectors

To collect data based on a rule file:

anubis collect /path/to/input /path/to/output /path/to/rules.yaml

Filtering Collectors

Run specific collectors:

anubis collect /input /output /rules.yaml -c rg -c binexport

Exclude specific collectors:

anubis collect /input /output /rules.yaml -b strings -b section
