A user could theoretically be running a jailbroken device, an un-verified third-party app (masquerading as an official app), and never know. ![]() ![]() Hiding a Cydia installation or third-party application on a jailbroken device is easy enough. If someone got a hold of your device, for even an hour, they could silently install un-verified third-party apps or even jailbreaks without you ever knowing. The Jailbreak section will clearly list out if a jailbreak has been found on the iOS device, and what jailbreak method may have been applied: everything from checking for Pangu to simply running a check if Cydia is present.

The Security section is one that will almost immediately pique anyone’s interest. While not as detailed due to the limitations set forth by iOS, it will give an individual an idea as to what is currently actively running on their device. This is akin to Activity Monitor on the Mac. Under the Process List, the application will show users all currently running processes on the iOS device. The general overview of the app shows CPU, memory, and storage utilization, but its strength comes in its security detection. The iOS app made by international IT security company SektionEins, showcases the currently running processes on iOS using a security point of view.
