kuba Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Since the entire Mac OS X environment is pretty new to me, I went on a discovery trip for some good information. If you 're not afraid of wandering around into OS X's UNIX bowls this might be for you: Some papers you 'll find there: - More Power to Firmware contains some notes on Open Firmware. - 10 Things Apple Did To Make Mac OS X Faster. - Implementing the Towers of Hanoi in Open Firmware on "new world" Macintosh systems. There is also a graphical implementation available on the same page. - Booting Mac OS X briefly describes the sequence of events that happen when Mac OS X boots. - Mac OS X Hacking Tools is a compendium of some useful programs for exploring Mac OS X. - Re-routing system calls through kernel extensions. - Re-routing function calls by overwriting and injecting PowerPC machine instructions. - Re-routing dynamic library calls using environment variables. - URL-based Security Holes in Mac OS X. ....and many other fine stuff. Enjoy. Solaris Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
