What do a macOS security researcher and an octopus have in common? They both need skills and intelligence to adapt to any situation, and make use of tools found natively in the environment to hunt their prey.
macOS Control Bypasses (EXP-312) is Offensive-Security’s first macOS security course. It’s an offensive logical exploit development course for macOS, focusing on local privilege escalation and bypassing the operating system’s defenses.
EXP-312 is an advanced course that teaches the skills necessary to bypass security controls implemented by macOS, and exploit logic vulnerabilities to perform privilege escalation on macOS systems.
Students who complete the course and pass the exam earn the Offensive Security macOS Researcher (OSMR) certification.
