This report reviews macOS security mechanisms (Keychain, TCC, SIP, File Quarantine, Gatekeeper, XProtect), demonstrates how attackers can bypass or abuse them (examples: Keychain dumping, TCC clickjacking, removing com.apple.quarantine, disabling Gatekeeper/SIP), and provides detection guidance including command indicators, EDR screenshots, and Sigma rules to help detect these behaviors.
