IOS packet tracing

Connect your IOS device to a Mac via USB. Create a virtual network interface which the IOS traffic will tunneled through Trace packets using Wireshark/tcpdump You will need your device's UID which can be obtained by iTunes.

Run in terminal:

rvictl -s <device_id>

Replace <device_id> with your UID.

Now there should be a virtual interface, you can check by running ifconfig -l. The new interface will be named something like rvi0.

Capture your packets using the new interface in Wireshark!
