Hi Julian,

You might be inetersted in some of the info on my little site
(http://members.lycos.co.uk/hardapple/ ) . I have information on OSX
exploits, vulns, pentestsings and more. The Metasploit framework has
a couple OSX exploits also.

OSX has had numerous typical unix problems. And are getting rooted
more and more these days as crackers start looking at them more. Take
a read of the recent "OSX Zombie" post from the From CLIXchange, the
newsletter of the developers of CLIX. (

Cheers,
Thomas Hardly
