kandi X-RAY | ShellGuard Summary

ShellGuard is a Swift library. ShellGuard has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

ShellGuard consists of a kernel extension and a userspace client that communicate through a PF_SYSTEM socket. The kext uses OS X's TrustedBSD framework to hook the execution system calls and notified of process executions. Based on the policies defined in the SG_config.json file, the ShellGuard allows or denies the execution of the shell. The ShellGuard daemon/client that remains in userspace and runs in privileged mode, which is why I have chosen to write it in Swift, a memory safe language. The daemon parses the ShellGuard policy file (JSON) and passes these rules to the kernel extension.

Install ShellGuard

Because we have not been able yet to obtain a kext signing cert, by default OS X will not allow us to load the ShellGuard kext. We have to enable kext-dev-mode for it to allow unsigned kext loading. This enables kext-dev-mode and also enables symbolic links to ensure that crash logs are somewhat useful.
Go to Terminal.app
Type: sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0x146 kext-dev-mode=1 keepsyms=1"
Restart your Mac
Press CMD + R right after your Mac starts to boot up and shows the Apple logo
Your Mac will reboot into Recovery mode
Go to Utilities in the top menu bar and go to Terminal
Type: csrutil enable --without-kext
Type: reboot
