iOS, The Future Of macOS, Freedom, Security And Privacy In An Increasingly Hostile Global Environment

This post by a security researcher who prefers to remain anonymous will elucidate concerns about certain problematic decisions Apple has made and caution about future decisions made in the name of “security” while potentially hiding questionable motives. The content of this article represents only the opinion of the researcher. The researcher apologises if any content is seen to be inaccurate, and is open to comments or questions through PGP-encrypted mail.

TL;DR

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

	Completely reset TCC services database in macOS

	Note: Both the system and individual users have TCC databases; run the script as both
	a user and as root to completely reset TCC decisions at all levels.

	2018-08-15: Resetting the 'Location' service fails; unknown cause
	2018-08-16: Confirmed the 'All' service does not really reset _all_
	services, so individual calls to each service is necessary.

	# install
	mkdir ~/macports
	cd ~/macports
	curl -O https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.5.3.tar.bz2
	tar xf MacPorts-2.5.3.tar.bz2
	cd MacPorts-2.5.3/

	./configure --enable-readline --prefix=$HOME/macports --with-no-root-privileges
	make && make install

	Hi All!

	I've recently launched a tool that wraps many of the commands here with a user interface. This desktop application is currently available for macOS. There's a roadmap outlining planned features for the near future.
	Feel free to request any features you'd like to see, and I'll prioritize them accordingly.
	One of the most important aspects of this application is that every command executed behind the scenes is displayed in a special log section. This allows you to see exactly what’s happening and learn from it.

	Here's the link to the repository: https://github.com/Pulimet/ADBugger

	App Description:
	ADBugger is a desktop tool designed for debugging and QA of Android devices and emulators. It simplifies testing, debugging, and performance analysis by offering device management, automated testing, log analysis, and remote control capabilities. This ensures smooth app performance across various setups.

	#!/bin/bash

	# IMPORTANT: You will need to disable SIP aka Rootless in order to fully execute this script, you can reenable it after.
	# WARNING: It might disable things that you may not like. Please double check the services in the TODISABLE vars.

	# Get active services: launchctl list \| grep -v "\-\t0"
	# Find a service: grep -lR [service] /System/Library/Launch* /Library/Launch* ~/Library/LaunchAgents
