What is it?

This is an awesome-style curated list that collects security-related tools and resources for Apple platforms. The macOS section covers forensic analysis utilities such as mac_apt and osquery, persistence and malware detection tools like KnockKnock and BlockBlock, and hardening or audit utilities such as Pareto Security and stronghold.

The iOS portion groups intentionally vulnerable apps for training, such as DVIA and EvilCorp iOS, alongside testing and reverse-engineering tools including objection, IDB and libimobiledevice. It also lists jailbreak projects organized by the iOS versions they support, from older rootful releases to recent rootless ones.

Entries are one-line annotations with links, and several items are marked as abandoned or paid. The list is released under CC0-1.0.
