Security Researcher: It's "Trivial to Bypass Security Tools on Macs"

April 24, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 4 Comments

    Some of those design decisions are pretty bad. The main thing that saves OS X is the same thing that saves Linux and other UNIX systems. It was designed from the beginning as a multi-user system with networking. Both are huge "features" and both have huge implications on how an OS should be implemented around them. Both are also things that were later bolted onto Windows rather haphazardly. MS has been trying to fix it while remaining compatible with prior designs ever since.

    I don't think OSX was so much designed from the beginning as multi-user as it was taken from BSD… which was designed to be multi-user. Apple gets all this credit but in reality most of the cool things they've done they've just copied from someone else. Their real strength lies in making shit shiny.
