## Useful for

- Decrypt an App Store IPA to inspect the app's code
- Extract credential.bin from a jailbroken device for later decryption
- Inspect encrypted arm64 Mach-O slices after removing FairPlay

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 00:37–04:07: 186 → 195 stars (+9). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +82 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 195 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #113.
- About 18 forks a day — people are taking the code.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @ac0d3r (340 followers).

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 32
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 69 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 3

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-19 … 2026-10-22: 16, 83, 97, 9

## Magnitude by day, last 2 days

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
