Two well-known Mac hackers are updating a widely used hacking toolkit, making it easier to take control of a Macintosh computer.

Unlimited usage. Instant activation. Full admin access. 24/7 remote hands support. Genuine, dedicated Apple Mac mini servers. For developers, remote testing, and more. MDS 3 raises the level for a Mac Deployment service. MDS 3 includes package management with Munki, inventory fleet management with MunkiReport, MDM with MicroMDM, and much more. Quickly set up and deploy MDS 3 on a Mac and have all the resources you need to successfully deploy anywhere from dozens to thousands of Macs.

Over the past few days, the researchers have been quietly adding new software to the Metasploit toolkit, used by security researchers and criminals alike. Metasploit already supported Mac attacks, but until recently the Mac code hadn’t been as good as Metasploit’s Windows and Linux tools, said Dino Dai Zovi, an independent security researcher who talked about the new tools with his collaborator Charlie Miller at the CanSecWest conference. “Our goal was to make Mac OS X a first-class target for Metasploit.”

Metasploit is an open-source toolkit that makes it easy for hackers to launch a barrage of attacks against a computer system.

Miller and Dai Zovi earned fame in previous years for hacking Macintosh computers at CanSecWest’s annual Pwn2Own hacking contest. On Wednesday, Miller, a researcher with Independent Security Evaluators, won $5,000 and a Mac laptop by using a previously unknown Safari vulnerability to hack into a Mac system.

The hack was done before contest organizers. In an interview, Miller said he had hoped to demonstrate it before an audience at CanSecWest, but was prevented from doing so because of Pwn2Own contest rules, which prohibit public discussion of bugs exploited in the contest.

Miller and Dai Zovi say their work is designed to bring attention to serious security problems in the Mac platform, which has largely avoided the wide-scale attacks that have plagued Windows for years. Dai Zovi said he considers the Mac safe, but not secure. “There’s a difference between safety and security,” he said. “It’s like leaving your door unlocked. … Leaving your door unlocked is always insecure, but it may or may not be safe.”

At the show, the researchers demonstrated several payload programs they have developed for Metasploit, including one called “Pic the Vic,” which can be used to snap a photograph of a Mac user who has been hacked, using the computer’s camera.

They have also ported a Windows tool, called Meterpreter, to the Mac. Meterpreter is a stealth tool that can be used to gain information from and import more software onto a hacked computer.

In the next few days they plan to add exploit code to Metasploit for a handful of previously patched Mac software bugs. Exploit code must be used to first hack into the computer before any payload software can be installed.

Although there are still many more exploits available for Windows software than for Macs, the new payload code means there is now “more or less the same functionality if you want to target a Mac box or a Windows box,” Miller said.

On installing PlatformIO in VSCode on a Mac, all appeared to go well until I tried to compile a sketch, then the following warning showed up on the Terminal.

The terminal shell path 'platformio' does not exist.

I found other cases when I googled the error, some suggesting installing a previous version of VSCode and others advising to delete core installations etc..

I got VSCode up and running by just renaming the .platformio folder in the HOME directory and restarting VSCode, forcing VSCode to make a new installation of PlatformIO.

Yes, I do like it, especially the code completion function which makes coding sketches much quicker. I suppose only one thing becomes time-consuming and that is having to have separate programs for different boards.

But we will get used to it!

@pugwash You can add multiple boards to a project by adding them to your platformio.ini file for the project. I used to do it for uno and pro mini boards in testing. If I remember, don't set a default in the .ini and it will build all the boards/targets or if you just one built, put a default in. Not sure if there is an automated way to do this.

In looking, there is this thread on doing it. Seems to match mostly with what I have done.
