Any Updates on Reverse Engineering Apple SandBox?
opened this issue · comments
Sorry this is not really an issue but I am writing a thesis on sandboxing in OS X, would like to share your progress maybe?
Interesting! I'm working on a project called SandboxMirror. It basically tracks all occasions on which Apple's sandbox might constrain a given process's behavior, and allows you to log some or all of this behavior. When I finish I'll post it on GitHub. Since I'm almost done, that's probably only a few weeks away.
I started working on SandboxMirror while I was still working at Mozilla (I retired about 6 months ago). I opened a couple of related bugs in Mozilla's bug reporting system, which you might want to take a look at:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1186187
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1185084
But you'll find much more information in my SandboxMirror project, once I release it -- both by using it and by looking at its source code. Once I do release it, I'll want to hear from people like you how I might make it more useful.
I've just finished version 1.0 of SandboxMirror. It's posted at https://github.com/steven-michaud/SandboxMirror. Check it out!
