Arguably, two factors keep the number of announced vulnerabilities              on Mac OS X low: the lack of researchers           interested in exploring this operating    system due to its low market share and the steep learning curve for researchers who are unfamiliar with the platform. The first of these reasons is going away as Apples market    share continues to rise. This paper hopes to address the second reason, that is, to provide     researchers already familiar with Windows     and Linux the knowledge and tools necessary to search for new security b ...
