think the most practical scene of MTerminal is to test private methods in Cycript when we’re
blanking out on the subway or something.
4.9 syslogd to /var/log/syslog
Figure 4- 27 syslogd to /var/log/syslog
syslogd is a daemon to record system logs on iOS, and “syslogd to /var/log/syslog” is used
to write the logs to a file at “/var/log/syslog”. You need to reboot iOS after you install this
tweak to automatically create the file “/var/log/syslog”. This file gets larger as time goes by,
you can zero clear it with the following command:
FunMaker-5:~ root# cat /dev/null > /var/log/syslog4.10 Conclusion
We’ve introduced 9 tools in this chapter, among which CydiaSubstrate, LLDB and Cycript
are the top priorities. It is because of the existence of these iOS tools, along with the OSX toolkit
in chapter 3, that we get a complete iOS reverse engineering environment. There’s a famous
Chinese saying that we should know how as well as know why. Now that we’ve already known
how by finishing part 2 of this book, it’s time for us to know why in the next part. Stay tuned!
