Description: This is the video recording of the presentation titled "Under the iHood" given by  Cameron Hotchkies at Recon 2008.

The market share for Apple devices has grown considerably over the past few years, but most reverse engineering topics still focus on Microsoft platforms. This talk will outline what is necessary to begin reversing software on OS X. This will include a rundown of the tools available to an apple based researcher, how Objective-C works and what it looks like in a binary, the basics of the Mach-O file format including the undocumented _OBJC section and comparisons of Windows applications and the OS X counterparts.

You can download a high resolution version of the video here. The slides are available here and the program iHood.py here.
