The SandBlasterPlugin for Ghidra is a specialized and sophisticated extension that leverages the functionalities of the SandBlaster tool to facilitate the streamlined analysis and reverse engineering of iOS sandbox profiles. This tool is essential in converting the profiles from their binary format into a human-readable SBPL (Sandbox Profile Language) format, directly within the Ghidra environment. The iOS operating system employs a security feature known as the sandbox, which imposes restrictions on applications, limiting their access to certain parts of the system or user data. These restrictions are delineated in sandbox profiles, typically stored in a binary format. The SandBlaster Plugin simplifies the analysis process by converting these binary profiles into the readable SBPL format, thereby aiding researchers and security analysts in comprehending and assessing the security implications of these profiles.
