Static Analysis Toolkit

Otool: A command-line utility that allows you to inspect binary files. It provides information about Mach-O files, libraries, and symbols.
Strings: Extracts printable strings from binary files, which can be useful for identifying embedded text or clues about the malware's functionality.
Hopper Disassembler: A commercial disassembler and debugger for macOS. It helps you reverse-engineer and analyze binaries.
IDAPRO: A powerful disassembler and debugger that supports macOS binaries. It’s widely used in the security community for static analysis.
Cutter: An open-source GUI for Rizin (formerly known as Radare2) that supports macOS. It provides an interface for disassembly, debugging, and analysis.
Mach-O View: A macOS application for analyzing Mach-O files. It helps you view and understand the structure of these files.
Xcode: Apple's integrated development environment (IDE) includes tools for inspecting and analyzing macOS applications.
Clang Static Analyzer: A tool that can perform static analysis on C, C++, and Objective-C code, which can be useful if you have source code or are working with malware written in these languages.
YARA: While not strictly a static analysis tool, YARA can be used to write rules to identify and classify malware samples based on patterns in their code.
