Turn off System Integrity Protection on your Mac

Turn off System Integrity Protection on your Mac

What is System Integrity Protection

OS X El Capitan and later includes security technology that helps protect your Mac from malicious software.
System Integrity Protection restricts the root user account and limits the actions that the root user can perform on protected parts of the Mac operating system.

System Integrity Protection includes protection for these parts of the system:

/System
/usr
/bin
/sbin
/var

Apps that are pre-installed with OS X
Paths and apps that third-party apps and installers can continue to write to include:

/Applications
/Library
/usr/local

System Integrity Protection is designed to allow modification of these protected parts only by processes that are signed by Apple and have special entitlements to write to system files, such as Apple software updates and Apple installers. Apps that you download from the Mac App Store already work with System Integrity Protection.

Convert a shell script into an executable binary This article will help you to create binary file of your shell script, so no one can see the source code of your script and we can use them as a command. To create binary file from a script we use SHC compiler written by Francisco Javier Rosales García . Shell Script Compiler (SHC) 1. Download shc and install it $ wget http://www.datsi.fi.upm.es/~frosal/sources/shc-3.8.9.tgz $ tar xvfz shc-3.8.7.tgz $ cd shc-3.8.7 $ make 2. Verify that shc is installed properly. $ ./shc -v shc parse ( -f ) : No source file specified shc Usage: shc [ -e date ] [ -m addr ] [ -i iopt ] [ -x cmnd ] [ -l lopt ] [ -rvDTCAh ] -f script 3. Create a Sample Shell Script $ vi test.sh #!/bin/bash need to put at the beginning of a script file. #!/bin/bash echo -n "Test" 4. Create Binary of Script $ ./shc -T -f test.sh -T : this will allow the created binary files to be traceable using programs like strace...
