Under "Security and Privacy" there's been "Developer Tools" for a while, within which I only ever saw Terminal.app (but any app could be added)
I'm not sure what it really does (could not find any docs, maybe someone can enlighten?) but the text made me think it could allow stuff like running unsigned debuggers:
Allow the applications below to run software locally that does not meet the system's security policies
Again I'm really not sure, but maybe it can cover some use cases without going the nuclear route of fully disabling SIP?
- memco 4y agoI Would be interested to know more about it too. I have been interested in running a piece of software that needs SIP partially disabled, but I’d I could just grant it exemption I would prefer that to a blanket removal. Funny thing is all computers used to run without SIP, but since they added it I’m now hesitant to turn it off even though I’m not any worse off than I used to be.
- macshome 4y agoIt relaxes the signing requirements and malware signature checks for binaries run in the Terminal. This way you can build and test stuff without needing to relax the security posture of the entire Mac.
