  I doubt you (or any human) is capable of enumerating what you don't want looked at. Frankly, I doubt most of this unknown area is covered by SIP at all, and it would be extremely odd if it did.

    I feel like you're assuming that applications have to be honest about what they are when they request a user-prompted permission. SIP makes that irrelevant.
    • rakoo 3y ago
      No, I'm assuming that you know what you install and that apps run with the same rights your user has. Your user can't touch /System, so shouldn't the app
