Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
iOScanX
iOScanX is the highest level part of the eponymous project. It takes advantage of the ScanX framework in order to actualize a practical workflow for iOS application scanning.
iOScanX provides a clear and intuitive graphical user interface that guides the user through all the steps in the workflow:
-
the first step is the acquisition of a group of applications that are going to be the subject of the scanning. iOScanX is capable of automatically decrypting and importing apps from a jailbroken device, connected via SSH through USB or Wi-Fi;
-
the second one is importing and selecting the analysis modules to be used during the scanning phase. iOScanX will present the user with a list of the metrics provided by each module, along with a concise description;
-
in the third step, iOScanX offers a convenient way of defining and editing evaluation expressions based on the previously displayed modules’ metrics;
-
the fourth and final step is the review of the results of the analysis. iOScanX comes with an option for exporting the results in the XML plist format.
