CVE-2016-4631 is a memory corruption vulnerability in Apple ImageIO affecting iOS before 9.3.3, OS X before 10.11.6, tvOS before 9.2.2, and watchOS before 2.2.2. The flaw is triggered when ImageIO processes a crafted TIFF image. Apple described the issue as multiple memory corruption problems addressed through improved memory handling. Successful exploitation may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, and in some cases may also cause a denial of service.

This repository provides a modernized Python 3 proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2016-4631, a vulnerability affecting Apple iOS devices that can lead to denial of service or remote code execution via malformed IP options. The main script, FuxIOS.py, is a command-line tool that scans a specified subnet for active hosts using nmap, then sends incrementally sized malformed IP/TCP packets to each discovered host on port 80. The exploit is configurable via command-line arguments or a config.ini file, and all actions are logged to fuxios_exploit.log. The repository includes an installation script (install.py) to check and install dependencies, a test suite (test_fuxios.py) for validating core functions, and documentation in README.md. The exploit requires root/administrator privileges and is intended for educational and authorized testing purposes only. No hardcoded external endpoints are present; the tool is designed for use within local or specified networks.
