@saagar yeah, this is good stuff and i didn’t know about this. i haven’t examined the exploit too closely, but i get what it is doing. i would have expect that flippancy internally, but to get that as a response to a legitimate security concern means that i should probably think hard about what you’ve advised.

i think, unfortunately, this is a reality vs. ideal situation. this is not the security model we want: the tools for evaluation (dtrace) are blocked philosophically and logically by SIP. but, when you disable SIP, you’re not thinking about typical ACLs, you need to go to `dyld`, because for apple-signed (or those with the entitlement) executables it behaves differently.

there are a lot of red flags there.

but also, you have done the rare thing of convincing someone on the internet that they need to reconsider their views.
