Attacking OSX for fun and profit

Presented at Kiwicon X: The Truth is In Here (2016), Nov. 17, 2016, 1:45 p.m. (30 minutes)

For the purposes of a documentary. I got asked to hack a journalist. His request, verbatim was "I want to see how badly you can fuck up my life if you got control of my laptop". okay.jpg This was a trial by fire of "holy crap there aren't the tools to do this". This talk will describe the problem statement of "how 2 shot web" against osx, describe the process I took, what I learned along the way, and end with the horribly horribly written tool I wrote, some discussion about other tools that now exist (last year defcon these tools didn't exist), and some tradecraft around how to attack osx. It'll be fun!
