Is there a substitute for mac/osx?

Also, on OSX you have access to (mostly) the full power of dtrace, so you can do diagnostics on closed-source, debug-stripped running programs that make strace look small by comparison.

    Just tried it on iTunes and it doesn't seem to work at all. I already allowed myself to debug my own system by disabling "System Integrity" in recovery mode.

      A quick Google for `PT_DENY_ATTACH` and dtrace should solve that

  Note on new MacOS builds you will likely have to boot into recovery and run: csrutil enable --without dtrace Otherwise you'll get a permissions error due to recent MacOS code signing protection... unless you copy the program you want to analyze to /tmp as a work around.
