File formats available for Apple iOS...
Hey there! I tried to figure out how to include a Machos payload for iOS into different image formats like JGP, JPEG, or PNG. The issue is that fakeimageexploiter only supports certain readable formats (ps1, exe, bat, txt), and I’m not sure if those will work for binding a reverse TCP shell. I’m doing this for pen testing to help the team understand what’s happening, so I appreciate your guidance ahead of time!

The file will display the provided Python snippet. After decoding the base64 message, you'll see the script run successfully. It seems to be testing network communication using socket and struct modules. The code is written in Python and should work on iOS if executed properly.

It implies that if no interpreter is available, social engineering becomes essential. The issue with fakeimageexploiter not supporting Mach-O or IPA formats might stem from compatibility limitations or design choices, possibly due to file format restrictions or lack of support for those specific types.
Python isn't the sole method available to target a system—it's merely the one supported by this tool. Even if you force the victim to use an interpreter that renders your Python code ineffective, smartphone apps remain isolated, making malicious actions via Python extremely rare. In any case, the code would need tailored adjustments. The file type isn't important; what truly counts is how the system interprets it.
