TLDR; No, you can't (for now).
This was a little bit of an uncomfortable read as I really didn't want to see this defeated, but I'm glad people are checking that it works as intended. The pessimist in me fears that when SIP bypasses are found this will be ready to go as part of a RAT. Realistically though the authors of RATs probably didn't need the example.
- bombcar 4y agoApple could just go to the expense of adding a few extra LEDs to the case. They already have one in Caps lock - could put one behind the volume button or something. Or make it only appear on the internal monitor, not mirrored or external devices.
- klabb3 4y agoThis would be so much better, and harder for real attackers to obfuscate and mislead. It would be easier to secure as well. It should of course also be physically based, and not software. This would probably mean always-on BS like Siri would always leave the light on, which would be honest.
