Sadly, nobody really loves crash reports, but I’m here to change that!
This research, a crash course on crash reports, will highlight how these often overlooked files are an invaluable source of information, capable of revealing malware infections, exploitation attempts, or even buggy (exploitable?) system code. Such insights are critical for defense and offense, empowering us to either protect or exploit macOS systems.
