For the non-programmers/hackers it might be a little difficult to understand, but D1DN0T has written an excellent walk-through for a penetration test of a service which is running on OSX. This write-up is good because it shows some of the common problems that occur during debugging and some of the methods of investigating ways around them. This seems like a trivial exploit to create although I'm sure that much more time and effort went into putting the exploit together than is explained in the text.
In a study completed and published by Avira ( http://www.avira.com/en/company_news/recognition_performance_virus_protection.html ) The results of the survey showed that for 34 percent (3,207 respondents) a long-established, trustworthy brand was key. Almost as many users, 33 percent (3,077 respondents), based their decision on the virus detection rates achieved in independent tests. Detection rates - lets call this effectiveness of the control - as this is the key metric used to measure effectiveness. This is a skewed metric as for the large majority of evaluations (ICSALabs, VB100, etc) use the "in-the-wild" or ITW list of viruses to perform the evaluations. There is no evaluation of these product's ability to respond or even detect newly released virus and malware. In all honesty really what we are dealing with here is preventative vulnerability management not virus detection and correction, and in my opinion there are four types of preventative protections required f
