This information only applies to iBoot64 on iOS 8 or lower.
In order to dump iBoot, you need:
1. Kernel read/write (eg task_for_pid 0)
2. gPhysBase and gVirtBase
3. A pointer to the kernel pmap's level1 translation table entries.
Once those are obtained, just add a mapping for gPhysBase to the level1 table (code for this is available upon request; drop me a pm on freenode), mapping 1GB of physical memory at a given virtual address.
Additionally, make sure to clear the read only bit and set the EL0-accessible bit.
At this point, it's simple matter of memmem to figure out where iBoot is hiding in phys. Given a gPhysBase map at 0xffffffc3c0000000, this code should do the trick.
```
int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) {
char* base = (char*) 0xffffffc3c0000000;
char* sig = (char*) "FFiBoot for ";
char* iboot = (char*) memmem(base, (1<<30), sig+2, strlen(sig)-2);
while (*(iboot-1) == 'F' && *(iboot-2) == 'F') {
iboot ++;
/* should fix size up here but too lazy lol */
iboot = (char*) memmem(iboot, (1<<30), sig+2, strlen(sig)-2);
assert(iboot);
}
iboot = (char*) (((uintptr_t)iboot) & (~0xFFF));
printf("found iboot at %p\n", iboot);
return 0;
}
