Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:

githubUsers
 .filter(user => user.followers > 1000)

Sadly I don't have a dev device on iOS 10, but for anyone playing around with zIVA caring about the kernel task port:

Starting with iOS 10.3 (and macOS 10.12.4), Apple changed convert_port_to_locked_task (and a few other port-to-something conversion functions) to blacklist the kernel task by means of a direct check. As a result, you can still obtain the kernel task port, but almost all APIs will simply treat it like MACH_PORT_NULL, thus rendering it useless. The check is a simple pointer comparison though, so it can be circumvented by just remapping the task struct at an additional virtual address and creating a new port from that with a ROP equivalent of:

vm_map_remap(
    kernel_map,
    &remap_addr,
    sizeof(task_t),
    0,

VM_FLAGS_ANYWHERE | VM_FLAGS_RETURN_DATA_ADDR,

steps to build arm64 version of xnu-4570.1.46
Following are my steps to build the ARM64 version of xnu-4570.1.46, hope this is helpfull for saving time.
1. Use Xcode 9.0
2. Preparation is same as macOS, and there is a guide: https://0xcc.re/building-xnu-kernel-macosx-sierrra-10-12-x/
3. There is an ARM64 version libfirehose: https://github.com/Proteas/install_firehose_lib
4. Copy and edit the ARM64 config(CFLAGS, LDFLAGS) from darwin-on-arm/xnu to your target project
5. Example CFLAGS: -Darm64 -DARM64 -D__arm64__ -D__ARM64__ -DLP64 -DCONFIG_EMBEDDED -mkernel -DARM64_BOARD_CONFIG_T8011=1
6. Fix compiling stage errors by directly importing the missing headers or editing the code
7. Fix linking stage errors by implementing place holder funcitons for: chudxnu_cpu_alloc, etc
8. If missing symbol __divti3 in linking stage, get the runtime from llvm.
