Add Apple Security

awesome-apple-security

Apple Security is a relatively niche field in cyber security, getting started with it is requires a high amount of personal research. This list aims to make it easier for newcomers and more experienced infosec professionals to find valuable information, resources, tools and techniques related to Apple Security. I hope this list will help people to do security research and quickly gain a foothold in this topic.

• Not a duplicate. Please search for existing submissions.
• Only has awesome items. Awesome lists are curations of the best, not everything.
• Does not contain items that are unmaintained, has archived repo, deprecated, or missing docs. If you really need to include such items, they should be in a separate Markdown file.

  • Either centered, fullwidth, or placed at the top-right of the readme. (Example)
  • The image should link to the project website or any relevant website.
  • The image should be high-DPI. Set it to maximum half the width of the original image.
• Entries have a description, unless the title is descriptive enough by itself. It rarely is though.
• Includes the Awesome badge.
  • Should be placed on the right side of the readme heading.
    • Can be placed centered if the list has a centered graphics header.
  • Should link back to this list.
• Has a Table of Contents section.
  • Should be named Contents, not Table of Contents.
  • Should be the first section in the list.
  • Should only have one level of nested lists, preferably none.
  • Must not feature Contributing or Footnotes sections.
• Has an appropriate license.
  • We strongly recommend the CC0 license, but any Creative Commons license will work.
    • Tip: You can quickly add it to your repo by going to this URL: https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/community/license/new?branch=main&template=cc0-1.0 (replace <user> and <repo> accordingly).
  • A code license like MIT, BSD, Apache, GPL, etc, is not acceptable. Neither are WTFPL and Unlicense.
  • Place a file named license or LICENSE in the repo root with the license text.
  • Do not add the license name, text, or a Licence section to the readme. GitHub already shows the license name and link to the full text at the top of the repo.
  • To verify that you've read all the guidelines, please comment on your pull request with just the word unicorn.
• Has contribution guidelines.
  • The file should be named contributing.md. Casing is up to you.
  • It can optionally be linked from the readme in a dedicated section titled Contributing, positioned at the top or bottom of the main content.
  • The section should not appear in the Table of Contents.
• All non-important but necessary content (like extra copyright notices, hyperlinks to sources, pointers to expansive content, etc) should be grouped in a Footnotes section at the bottom of the readme. The section should not be present in the Table of Contents.
• Has consistent formatting and proper spelling/grammar.
  • The link and description are separated by a dash.
    Example: - [AVA](…) - JavaScript test runner.
  • The description starts with an uppercase character and ends with a period.
  • Consistent and correct naming. For example, Node.js, not NodeJS or node.js.
• Doesn't use hard-wrapping.
• Doesn't include a Travis badge.
  You can still use Travis for list linting, but the badge has no value in the readme.
• Doesn't include an Inspired by awesome-foo or Inspired by the Awesome project kinda link at the top of the readme. The Awesome badge is enough.

Go to the top and read it again.

Hi BlackSquirrelz,
Thanks for the pull request!
To be honest I could not find that many suggestions to change.
Linting works, page has a clear layout, The only things I could find are the following:

• At communities there are only twitter accounts, then you could also call it Twitter accounts.
• Videos only has 1 entry, but it seems you made your own playlist.
  But the most important thing is the following:
  The commits from the last 2 days made it an Awesome list, even though the repo has been online for more than a month, it was not a awesome list, so I don't know if people with suggestions would have summited them.
  Other than this it is cool!

Hi @Delft-Open-Hardware

Thank you for your detailed review.

• Fair point, I have updated it to Twitter for now, can still change it at a later stage if other socialmedia profiles are added.
• Yes, indeed, I curated a list of videos from youtube, would you prefer single videos or shall I rename the header to something like "playlists"?

I do see your point, officially it was just a list, I intended to make it an awesome list, but didn't feel comfortable calling it awesome just yet until the quality was high enough, and an official PR was made. Perhaps it can be included after another 30 days then ^^

The description should not describe what the list contains. It should describe the topic.

[BlackSquirrelz]

Changed to: Apple Security resources.

[BlackSquirrelz]

Changed Readme according to linter

[claui]

@BlackSquirrelz Very useful list!

A couple of issues:

• The Collector link points to an unmaintained repository. I suggest that you at least note that fact in the description. Alternatively, consider dropping the entry.

• The Security Documentation link points to an error page.

• The Report Vulnerabilities link points to an error page.

• The Apple Platform Security link just redirects to the Apple Support home page.

• The Process Tree link doesn’t point to Process Tree. Instead, it simply points to a snapshot of the mac_apt repository. But you already have an entry for mac_apt.

[sindresorhus]

The description is not valid.

[sindresorhus]

• Twitter - macOS Security Researcher and Purple Teamer.

"Twitter" is moot here.

Closing for lack of response.
