Dump kernelcache version

❯ ipsw kernel version kernelcache.release.iPhone14,2

kernel dec

Decompress a previously extracted kernelcache

❯ ipsw kernel dec kernelcache.release.iphone11
info

This only works when you have pull them directly out of the IPSW zip as a im4p file (you should just use ipsw extract --kernel IPSW instead)

kernel extract

Extract KEXT(s) from kernelcache

❯ ipsw kernel extract kernelcache.release.iPhone15,2 sandbox
• Created sandbox

Dump them all

This only works on the modern MH_FILESET kernelcaches and is the same thing as ipsw macho info KERNELCACHE --fileset-entry "com.apple.security.sandbox" --extract-fileset-entry

Dump CTF info

KDK kernelcaches contain CTF - Compact ANSI-C Type Format data which is used by dtrace. It's a data format much like DWARF and contains and absolute treasure trove for peeps REing the kernels (types, globals and func signatures).
