Doesn't run on 14.1 Beta (23B5056e)

[itsphilgeorge]

Readme suggests that this should work on all versions. 14.x

I understand it is Beta but I also figure this may be the case for a large cohort of users.

It looks like provisions for addressing this are covered in this PR: #7

However, I'm gathering Beeper may be abandoning this repo and it will be up to the community to fork and manage this moving forward.

@synman Curious, which aspects of that PR do you feel cover this 14.1 beta bit? The 'automatically find offsets' prototype I mentioned in #7 (comment) ?

@itsphilgeorge Are you able to zip up the following file and upload it somewhere (ideally probably not this repo to avoid potential copyright/etc issues)?

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/IDS.framework/identityservicesd.app/Contents/MacOS/identityservicesd

Bonus points if you rename it to something like macos-14.1-beta-BUILDCODE-identityservicesd, where BUILDCODE is the bit of the version that looks similar to this 22E261

That way I (or someone) might be able to have a look and find the offsets for it (and can also test if my automatic script works on that version)

Latest updates on the 'automatically find offsets' prototype:

Edit: See

• Doesn't run on 14.1 Beta (23B5056e) #6

I've also been working on a PoC script that is able to find the offsets automagically (at least across the 13.3.1, 13.5, 14.2 x86 binaries I have tested it against so far). I'll probably continue working on it tomorrow, and then hopefully push the code on a PoC repo

This is the repo:

• https://github.com/0xdevalias/poc-re-binsearch

The 'find offsets automagically' script is:

• https://github.com/0xdevalias/poc-re-binsearch/blob/main/find_fat_binary_offsets.py

Some helper scripts for figuring out what to use as the patterns there include:

• https://github.com/0xdevalias/poc-re-binsearch/blob/main/rafind2-fat-binary
• https://github.com/0xdevalias/poc-re-binsearch/blob/main/xxd-fat-binary

You might find some useful or interesting notes here:

• https://github.com/0xdevalias/poc-re-binsearch/blob/main/notes.md

There might be more stuff that is/will end up in that repo that could also be useful; but for now, I think that is the bulk of it.

@jetfir3 If you felt like reversing some more versions.

Curious, how do you have access to the older binaries? Extracting them from Time Machine backups/similar, or?

Downloading macOS and extracting the binary for each version.

Beta versions (other than the latest one) won't be supported manually. It may work if #9 is implemented at some point
