Looking into just trying to deobfuscate the older NAC stuff for generating the iMessage validation data...

Looks like it might be possible? As far as I can tell, it's just MBA + Control Flow Obfuscation.

I don't totally understand simplifying MBA, but it looks like it can be done with certain tools, and after that undoing the CFO should be easy-er?
