In transferring the data to the iOS client, the data needs to go through a communication tunnel and be decoded as plaintext information within the client. As a powerful dynamic pile inserter, Frida has played a significant role in decryption and reverse engineering for iOS applications. An attacker can use Frida to decrypt the iOS client for malicious actions like data tampering and destruction. This paper aims to explore client decryption methods for mPaas and BonreeAgent.
