Tips

After quite a few hours typing and testing stuff, here it is a very early draft of my attempt to document Apple’s sandbox implementation. The most difficult part in writing technical documentation or business plans is to get the first draft more or less ready. It’s even worse when there’s not much information about the subject. But here it is something with already quite some significant content. In this draft I don’t like the writing style – it’s still very confuse and boring....

These last days I must be set on a Apple devices destruction mode. First I lost access to my MacBook while trying to increase its physical security – I configured it to boot from network and I lost all access to boot sequence commands. I think my model has an EFI bug because the security-mode set to full doesn’t ask for a password when I start/restart my laptop, only asks for password if I want to boot from other devices....

There are days I “hate” my obsessive and curious mind! The day I was checking Apple Just added downloads feed and found this nice screensaver is one of those. 3D Desktop Aquarium Screensaver (available at http://www.uselesscreations.com) grabbed my attention because it looks nice and I love fishes. As usual, I started poking around and decided I had to crack it because I never did a screensaver before. The result is another tutorial 😄....

I wanted to recompile GDB so I can modify its source and add some custom patches to enhance its output… Easier said than done! There’s not much information around about this and my first attempt was by downloading GDB source package from Apple and trying to compile it. Didn’t compile out of the box so I had to fix here and there and finally it compiled, but then it didn’t work....

I forgot to mention this previously but there is a mailing list available at http://0x90.org/mailman/listinfo/xso and an IRC channel at irc.freenode.net, #osxre. It’s still a small community but more people are showing up and IRC is always a good communication tool. I’m not administrator of both, but YOU are invited to join 😄. fG!
