Hopper is a disassembler that came out in recent years, which mainly targets Apple family
operating systems, as shown in figure 1-6.
Figure 1- 6 Hopper
After disassembling binaries, we have to read the generated assembly code. This is the most
challenging task as well as the most interesting part in iOS reverse engineering, which will be
explained in detail in chapters 6 to 10. We will use IDA as the main disassembler in this book
and you can reference the experience of Hopper on http://bbs.iosre.com.
