Most probably you can use Linux gdb to do it. Never tested it :) I seriously doubt that you can compile Apple’s gdb version on a Linux host without a big effort.

Can you tell me if there is a way to download this kernel source all together instead of a file at a time. -Thanks Hi!

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 15:24:07 +0000 http://reverse.put.as/?p=178#comment-1360 Hello, Thanks, although it's not cutting edge stuff hehehehe I just got the pieces together ;) Just been playing around with it and apart the total virtual machine hang (if I take too much time into the debugger or do nothing inside the VM - with the debugger it should be expected following Apple docs, but the idle seems strange) it's working very nice. It allowed me to clear that there's no new anti-debugging into Little Snitch kernel module and to start confirming some theories I had about it's inner working! If you run into any trouble just ask :) fG! Hello,

Really, this post is the best piece of info about Mac OS X and reverse engineering I've read for months (and the tcp_connect trick is pure genius)! I will try to setup a vm ASAP. congrats! -- beowulf Hi!
