Top antivirus company Kaspersky has released Python scripts to automate the analysis of Shutdown.log, an Apple iOS system log file that covers device activity during a reboot, in an effort to curb spyware on the world’s most popular mobile platform.
Per an announcement on its Securelist blog aimed at security researchers, the collection of scripts known as iShutdown, available now on Github, avoids any byzantine technical solution, such as attempting to access encrypted backups, in favour of the relatively easily accessible Shutdown.log file.
