The iOS _MALLOC(size_t size, int type, int flags) function allocates size bytes on the heap. Internally blocks are represented as a length field followed by a data field:

struct _mhead {
size_t mlen;
char dat[0]; }

The mlen field is used by the free() function to determine how much space needs to be freed. In iOS 4.x the _MALLOC function was implemented as follows:

1 void * _MALLOC(size_t size, int type, int flags) {
2 struct _mhead hdr;
3 size_t memsize = sizeof (hdr) + size;
4 hdr = (void *)kalloc(memsize); // allocate memory
5 hdr->mlen = memsize;
6 return (hdr->dat);
7 }

In iOS 5.x the following two lines were added after line 3:

int o = memsize < size ? 1 : 0;
if (o) return (NULL);

Why were these lines added in iOS5.x? Briefly describe an attack that may be possible without these lines.

Usually, when we sniff packets, we are only interested certain types of packets. we can do that by setting filters in sniffing. scapy’s filter use the bpf (berkeley packet filter) syntax; you can find the bpf manual from the internet. set the following filters and demonstrate your sniffer program again (each filter should be set separately): (a) capture only the icmp packet. (b) capture any tcp packet that comes from a particular ip and with a destination port number 23. (c) capture packets comes from or to go to a particular subnet. you can pick any subnet, such as 128.230.0.0/16; you should not pick the subnet that your vm is attached to.
