What is safe?

[edit]

"Custom patches using Apple's Xcode template are always considered unsafe." Does this make sense? If apple's templates are unsafe, which ones are not Pstdenis (talk) 23:09, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • It could probably be better phrased, but it makes some sense. It is not Apple's Xcode template ..., but Apple's Xcode template... In other words, the ones people make themselves. Mlewan (talk) 19:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Chiming in more, ARE there any "Quarz Composer Trojan Horses out there? QC allows one to make sub-patches that can execute (I suppose) arbitrary JavaScript code - or perhaps even Cocoa code included as a dylib or something in the QC document package (I haven't messed with it enough to know either). Even with just JS, a malicious hacker might be able to do some damage, unless QC runs the JS in a sandbox that cannot mess with the outside environment, or alerts the user IF AND ONLY if the JS tries to get information from outside the sandbox. (Grumble about Apple's arguably flawed "File Quarantining" - which will train users to just click through another "well intended but annoying" dialog. Anyway, it is NOT a "quarantine" - because there is NO way that I know of for the system to absolutely determine if a file IS safe - whether or not the USER trusts it - the whole POINT of Trojan Horses is to get the user to trust them. Now, if Apple could REALLY "quarantine" a file in a sandbox for long enough to ensure that it would NOT mess with anything that it shouldn't.. That might work) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.9.142.228 (talk) 00:27, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edited the website

[edit]

heya,

I've changed the website since the previous one was directing the users to the apple developer landing page. I know user guide is not the main page but still it could give out some pointers to the curious people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.169.197.220 (talk) 12:15, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
