Apple Security Research Device

The Apple Security Research Device (SRD) program gives vetted researchers a specially fused iPhone for iOS security research without bypassing protections. It allows shell access, running any tools, choosing entitlements and customizing the kernel. All iOS and iPhone components are in scope except Apple Pay and third-party apps. Findings are automatically considered for Apple Security Bounty, with bonuses for preview and beta software.

TL;DR Describes Apple's SRD program, which lends researchers a fused iPhone with shell and kernel customization for bounty-eligible iOS research.
