SwiftDump is a command-line tool for retriving the Swift Object info from Mach-O file. Similar to class-dump, but the difference is that SwiftDump focus on swift 5 objects. For Mach-O files mixed with Objective-C and swift, you can combine class-dump with SwiftDump.
There is alos a Frida version named FridaSwiftDump.
You can either useSwiftDump for a Mach-O file or FridaSwiftDump for a foreground running app.
If you are curious about the Mach-O format, check the image at the bottom of this article.
USAGE: SwiftDump [--debug] [--arch <arch>] <file> [--version]
ARGUMENTS:
  <file>                  MachO File
OPTIONS:
  -d, --debug             Show debug log.
  -a, --arch <arch>       Choose architecture from a fat binary (only support x86_64/arm64).
                          (default: arm64)
  -v, --version           Version
  -h, --help              Show help information.
- SwiftDump ./TestMachO > result.txt
- SwiftDump -a x86_64 ./TestMachO > result.txt
- Written entirely in swift, the project is tiny
- Dump swift 5 struct/class/enum/protocol
- Parse enum with payload case
- Support inheritance and protocol
- Since it is written in swift, the mangled names are demangled by swift's runtime function, such as swift_getTypeByMangledNameInContextandswift_demangle_getDemangledName.
Thanks to the runtime function, SwiftDump can demangle complex type, such as RxSwift variable. For example,
RxSwift.Queue<(eventTime: Foundation.Date, event: RxSwift.Event<A.RxSwift.ObserverType.Element>)>
- Parse swift function address
- More
- Clone the repo
- Open SwiftDump.xcodeproj with Xcode
- Modify 'Signing & Capabilities' to use your own id
- Build & Run
The default Mach-O file path is Demo/test, you can change it in Xcode - Product - Scheme - Edit Scheme - Arguments
(Tested on Xcode Version 11.5 (11E608c), MacOS 10.15.5)
- Machismo : Parsing of Mach-O binaries using swift.
- swift-argument-parser : Straightforward, type-safe argument parsing for Swift.
- Swift metadata : High level description of all the Swift 5 sections that can show up in a Swift binary.
