iOS stores certain databases containing information on which sideloaded apps are revoked and the validity of signing certificates at /var/db/MobileIdentityData/ and /var/protected/trustd/.
Using partial backups, we can restore these files and clear them, or replace them with directories.
This tool replaces the databases with directories of the same name, which causes the system to fail when attempting to write to them, therefore preventing your device from "remembering" any revokes or blacklisted certificates.
