Specter

ARM64 memory manipulation framework for iOS/macOS. Compiled as a static library (libspecter.a) consumed via a plain C/C++ header (specter.h).

Provides inline function hooking, stealth code patching, hardware breakpoints, memory read/write, symbol resolution, and shellcode loading — all targeting aarch64-apple-ios.

Build

rustup target add aarch64-apple-ios   # once
make                                  # release → target/aarch64-apple-ios/release/libspecter.a
make debug
make check                            # verify exported symbols match specter.h
