About

SUIDGuard is a TrustedBSD kernel driver that implements several mitigations to protect against weaknesses in the operating system usually abused in exploits.

• protects SUID/SGID root binaries from DYLD environment variables by overwriting the string DYLD with XYLD_
• protects the O_APPEND flag usually used when opening e.g. logfiles from being disabled by someone with credentials that are different from those used to open the file
• disallows execution of executables without a __PAGEZERO segment (stops NULL page exploits like e.g. tpwn)

Tested with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.
