iOS KERNEL EXPLOIT & C2 FRAMEWORK — DARKSWORD v2.6.0
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
THREAD BY: CYBERWAR WEAPONS · PROGRAM: DARKSWORD v2.6.0 · TARGET: iOS 15.0–18.7 · ARCH: arm64 / arm64e
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔ [ 01. INTRODUCTION ]
CYBERWAR WEAPONS presents DarkSword — a full-chain iOS kernel exploitation and Command & Control framework engineered for iOS 15.0 through 15.8.4 and iOS 18.0 through 18.7 on arm64 and arm64e devices.
DarkSword is not a script. It is a multi-stage exploitation framework built from the ground up in Objective-C, implementing a complete 7-stage chain from raw kernel primitive acquisition to persistent remote agent deployment — all mapped to the AegisFlow 42-subsystem security model.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔ [ 02. EXPLOIT CHAIN — 7 STAGES ]
| STAGE | NAME | METHOD | TARGET ARCHITECTURE |
| §0 | Kernel Exploit | IOSurface UaF / CoreTrust PPL race | iOS 15 + iOS 18 |
| §1 | PAC Bypass | FEAT_PAuth2 · AMCC write-gate · diversity=0x6A79 | arm64e (A12+) |
| §2 | PPL Bypass | AMCC register-level write-gate | iOS 15 + iOS 18 |
| §3 | Privilege Escalation | allproc walk · uid=0 · cs_flags → CS_PLATFORM_BINARY | All targets |
| §4 | Sandbox Escape | MAC label slot[0] detach · Sandbox.kext bypass | All targets |
| §5 | GHOSTBLADE Deploy | LaunchDaemon + AMFI trust cache + dylib inject | All targets |
| §6 | Persistence | PAC-signed arm64e stub · SpringBoard injection | arm64e exclusive |
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔ [ 03. GHOSTBLADE — PERSISTENT REMOTE AGENT ]
GHOSTBLADE is DarkSword's primary persistent agent. Once deployed it survives reboots and device wipes of the userland partition.
LaunchDaemon persistence — installs as com.apple.nehelper2, starts at boot, auto-restarts on crash
Dylib injection — injects into SpringBoard and backboardd (arm64e PAC-signed stubs) AMFI trust cache insertion — CDHash inserted into static trust cache; binary treated as platform-signed
C2 channel — TLS 1.3 / AES-256-GCM / X25519 key exchange; cert pinned with SHA-256 SPKI Heartbeat — 60s interval; self-healing reconnect on network change
Self-destruct — remote wipe command zeroes binary on disk and removes all artefacts
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔ [ 04. GHOSTKNIFE — FORENSIC EXTRACTION ]
GHOSTKNIFE is the DarkSword extraction payload. Deploys post-sandbox-escape with full filesystem and keychain access.
Full Keychain extraction — all access groups, all classes (GenericPassword, InternetPassword, Certificate, Key)
Browser credentials — Safari saved passwords, Chrome, Firefox iOS Encrypted app databases — Signal SQLCipher (key from Keychain), WhatsApp, Telegram
iCloud authentication tokens — com.apple.account.* Keychain access group Full filesystem traversal — /private/var, /var/mobile/Containers (Data + Bundle)
Exfiltration — zlib compressed, AES-256-GCM encrypted envelope, POST to ingest endpoint
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔ [ 05. C2 WEB PANEL ]
Every license includes access to the DarkSword C2 Panel — a React/Vite web dashboard styled as a dark terminal interface.
Overview — live C2 traffic chart, audit event rate, exploit chain stage progress bars
Device Registry — all connected devices with iOS version, kernel slide, exploit stage, latency Payload Management — GHOSTBLADE/GHOSTKNIFE config, AegisFlow §N subsystem status
Remote Terminal — interactive shell with command history and real remote responses Audit Log — Merkle-linked forensic-grade event log with live streaming and hash chain viewer
Per-user access — each buyer gets their own registered panel login (HF username based)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔ [ 06. SUPPORTED DEVICES & iOS VERSIONS ]
| iOS Branch | Versions | Architecture | Devices |
| iOS 15.x | 15.0 → 15.8.4 (all minors) | arm64 + arm64e | iPhone 6s → iPhone 13 |
| iOS 18.x | 18.0 → 18.7 (all minors) | arm64e | iPhone XS → iPhone 16 Pro Max |
Kernel struct offsets are bundled for all supported minor versions in signed plist files. Automatic version detection on runtime.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚔ [ 07. AEGISFLOW — SECURITY ARCHITECTURE ]
DarkSword is built on the AegisFlow 42-subsystem security model to ensure every component is structurally accounted for, auditable, and clear of common forensic indicators.
Key AegisFlow subsystems implemented: §1 MemoryTagManager — all kread/kwrite tagged with access class (Kernel, UserData, PPLProtected)
§2 CapabilityRegistry — signed tokens with permission bitmask + TTL required before any kernel write §3 FormalVerifier — stage ordering enforced; chain cannot proceed out of order
§4 SecurityMonitor — every exploit event logged with subject/object/timestamp §17 AuditBridge — Merkle-linked audit chain; tamper-evident event log
§22 CFIGuard (inverse) — PAC bypass using AMCC diversity value extraction §29 CryptoRNGGuard — SecRandomCopyBytes for all IV generation
§39 CryptoAlgorithmGuard — AES-256-GCM only for C2 and exfil paths
