Everything mentioned in the article can be accomplished with ssh and the osascript command. The only interesting part of this software would be the rootkit used to hide it from an admin.
- hackermom 16y agoWhat rootkit? This is OS X, not Windows. You can't hide processes here the same way, or even to the same extent, you can under ntoskrnl.
- X-Istence 16y agoSure you can. If you have root access to Mac OS X and can thus load stuff into the kernel you can easily disguise applications that are running by modifying the process tables, or replacing the ps binary by one that does filtering. Look at some of the BSD rootkits for inspiration on how to accomplish a task like that.
