    New blog post (+code): “Detecting (Evil) Dylibs” 🔎👾 Following up on @patrickwardle’s DEF CON talk, we’ve got slides + a deeper dive into how attackers abuse dylibs, plus some (new!) ways to enumerate, detect & block them at runtime/load time! 💪🏽 🔗 objective-see.org/blog/blog_0x89…

    Very excited for @northpolesec to sponsor OBTS. It’s one of the best conferences and communities out there. Santa was even featured in an OBTS v1 talk objectivebythesea.org/v1/talks/OBTS_… It’s great to be able to give back.
