Help/Support Ptrace and SysCtl remove help.

[DarkArrow 0 iPhone 6 Plus 10.3.3]

After i loaded a binary in IDA, i search for ptrace and sysctl in Import. I did not found any ptrace but i found sysctl.

Does this mean the binary does not have any ptrace to block me from attach with gdb but it has sysctl to block it? (when i try to debugserver host: binary, i got error segment fail 11). and i foudn this too .

 BLX             _sysctl
CBZ             R0, loc_E7B194
MOV            R0, #(aSSysctlFailedW - 0xE7B18C) ; "%s: sysctl failed while trying to get k"...
MOV            R1, #(aClsprocessdebu - 0xE7B18E) ; "CLSProcessDebuggerAttached"
ADD             R0, PC  ; "%s: sysctl failed while trying to get k"...
ADD             R1, PC  ; "CLSProcessDebuggerAttached"
BL                sub_E77FF4
MOVS          R0, #0

B                  loc_E7B19E

 

any one have any idea to how deal with this

Look for the function which has memset, getpid near sysctl and then NOP if you see something like this:

 

MOVS R1, #0x1F

mov #r0,0x1F

mov r1,#0x1F

MOVS R1, #0x1F

mov #r0,0x1F

mov r1,#0x1F

i dont see any thing like

MOVS R1, #0x1F

mov #r0,0x1F

mov r1,#0x1F

Also the only function i see is sub_E77FF4 and it does not contain _menset or getpid.

i look at other sub at contain sysctl but they dont have any sub around them only loc_x
