đźš© Exam Structure & Objectives
The CAPS certification proves you can work a high-speed Linux-to-iOS pipeline under pressure.
Ingestion & Static Analysis
The Task
Use Phonycode CLI to ingest 'VulnerableApp.ipa' into an ACHERON node.
The Goal
Extract Info.plist, identify hardcoded API keys and misconfigured URL schemes.
Defeating Client-Side Shields
The Task
The app has 'Hades-Gate' root detection and SSL pinning enabled.
The Goal
Use STYX settings or Frida to bypass detection and reach the login screen.
Dynamic Data Interception
The Task
Route ACHERON node's traffic through Burp Suite.
The Goal
Intercept obfuscated JSON and perform an IDOR attack to view profiles.
The 'Final Boss'
The Task
Identify memory corruption in a custom C++ module via ACHERON logs.
The Goal
Craft a simple PoC crash or extract a 'Secret String' from live memory logs.
Certification Result: Verified Pioneer
Upon submission of your Pentest Report, receive a unique Digital Badge, Verifiable ID (CISA-CAPS-2026-XXX), and "Ifrit-Prime" status on our global researcher directory.
CDAD: Certified ACHERON Apple Developer
For the "Windows-based iOS Developer" who wants to build high-performance products without the hardware overhead.
Module 1: The STYX Dev Environment
- • Environment Parity: Setting up ACHERON nodes to mirror specific iPhone hardware (iPhone 15 Pro vs. iPhone 17).
- • Phonycode Bridge: Connecting Flutter/React Native to the STYX engine for sub-second hot reloads.
- • C++ Foundation: Understanding how the STYX HAL translates Darwin system calls to Windows/Linux.
Module 2: High-Fidelity UI/UX Testing
- • GPU Acceleration: Optimizing Metal-to-Vulkan/DirectX translation for smooth 60fps animations.
- • Sensor Simulation: Testing CoreLocation (GPS), Accelerometer, and Haptics via the Phonycode CLI.
- • Dark Mode & Dynamic Type: Automated testing across all iOS system states within the virtual node.
Module 3: The 'Final Mile' Pipeline
- • Pre-Flight Auditing: Using ACHERON to run a 'Mock App Store Review' to find common rejection triggers.
- • CI/CD Integration: Setting up automated 'headless' ACHERON nodes for GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
- • Handoff Workflow: The legal and technical steps for moving an ACHERON-validated build to a Mac for final signing.
