"iShutdown: Your Key to Detecting iOS Spyware on iPhones"

Security researchers have found that iOS spyware infections can be detected on compromised Apple devices by analyzing the Shutdown.log file, which records reboot events. Kaspersky has released Python scripts called iShutdown to automate the analysis process and identify potential signs of malware infection. The method has been used to detect Pegasus, Reign, and Predator spyware infections, providing a more accessible analysis method compared to traditional techniques. However, frequent device reboots are necessary for the log file to capture signs of infection, and some familiarity with Python, iOS, terminal output, and malware indicators is required to evaluate the results properly.
