- jrockway 17y agoThis has been the case since they implemented PT_DENY_ATTACH. Revolutionaries that throw hammers at screens do not artificially limit their operating system.
- whalesalad 17y agoFor those of us nubs who don't know what PT_DENY_ATTACH is, I did a little bit of research and have come to this conclusion: It's a flag that prevents a debugger from attaching itself to the process, aka preventing gdb from attaching to iTunes.
- s3graham 17y agoI believe more importantly when people got all huffy about it was disallowing dtrace to attach.
