It really helps add some color to the motivations behind notorization. It seems ridiculous to me that I have to jump through so many hoops to run an executable that I trust. Especially when Apple can’t be bothered to follow up on real vulnerabilities that have already been reported.
- chii 5y agoExactly - any PR propaganda about notorization or signing making it safer for users is just BS. It's a gate-keeping mechanism that adds a layer of power to apple and prevent any control of the app market from slipping away.
- noptd 5y agoAlong with a solid bit of resume building for SecEng, I'd say yeah exactly that.
- concinds 5y agoWorse is the fact that the bulk of Apple’s security on Mac is codesigning/notarisation, and a primitive signature-based built-in antivirus. Windows seems to be doing so much better that it’s not even close, and in ways that aren’t user-hostile.
