I can confirm that the people I have been working with have been suffering from the difficulty as well. The situation doesn’t mean iOS is unbreakable, though, and for me, it makes the challenge even more interesting for the ones that are keeping their positions. [3/3]

This is unprecedented and tells how much iOS security has improved. For those unaware of the situation, please take a look at

’s presentation. It is very informative on the pain inflicted to the offense side of InfoSec. In french we say “Cela sent le vécu”. [2/3]

Quick summary of my perception of the iOS world after Hexacon. Apple’s SEAR team has done a tremendous work over the last couple of years, to the point that many of my iOS fellow senior researchers have moved to Android (for this reason). [1/3]

There are processes to help, like code review, unit tests, automatic regression tests, manual ones, internal and public beta tests, etc. But sometimes a bug get through the mesh of the net all the way to

I absolutely don’t think the last High Sierra bug is a backdoor or intentional (responding to some comments on my previous tweet). It is just a mistake illustrating the complexity of maintaining such a huge software code base. Anytime you change anything you may introduce bugs.

Seriously, the quality of macOS High Sierra is a shame. I really don’t understand how that root login without a password story could happen. Especially when you consider all the good security engineering around (SEP, code signing, sandbox, entitlements). I feel sad.
