Review iOS configuration surfaces that enable persistence or surveillance — configuration profiles, MDM, TCC grants, provisioning profiles, VPN, root CAs, WebClips, jailbreak indicators, and sideloaded enterprise apps.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Configuration & Persistence Review ## When to Use - Triage flagged a profile, unusual TCC grant, or sideloaded app - Incident scoping: what durable footholds exist on this device - Pre-travel / post-travel posture review for high-risk users - Device handover / handback audit ## Surface Area (ranked by real-world prevalence) 1. **Configuration profiles** — MDM, supervision, root CAs, VPN, Wi-Fi — the #1 iOS persistence vector 2. **TCC grants** — retained sensitive permissions (camera / mic / location / contacts / photos) 3. **Provisioning profiles** — developer / enterprise signatures enabling sideloaded apps 4. **Sideloaded / enterprise apps** — apps outside the App Store (AltStore, TrollStore, enterprise certs) 5. **Root CAs** — trusted certs enable TLS MitM 6. **VPN / proxy configuration** — traffic diversion, DNS rewriting 7. **WebClips** — home-screen "apps" that are really URL launchers (lookalike / phish) 8. **Accessibility grants** — Switch Control, AssistiveTouch — classic stalkerware footprint 9. **Jailbreak / tweak indicators** — `/etc/apt`, Sileo, Cydia, Dopamine, palera1n artifacts …

How to install
mdr add dreadnode/capabilities/config-and-persistence-review@sha256:a0501846594ae42fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260504.2a64374, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
