How does mercenary spyware actually control an iPhone? In this video, I reverse engineer the Predator spyware to uncover the secret internal protocol it uses to activate surveillance modules.

This is a summary of my technical research published on the Reverse Society blog. While analyzing the surveillance framework, I discovered a hidden custom text-based protocol that orchestrates the malware's operations (Camera, VoIP, etc.).
