This paper serves as an introduction to the tools and techniques available on the Mac OS X operating system for vulnerability analysis. It is particularly targeted for those security researchers already familiar with tools for Windows and/or Linux. It also reveals tools that are only found on Mac OS X and how they can be used to find security flaws, especially those that can be used in conjunction with fuzzing. By using the tools outlined in this paper, which include both Mac versions of well-known tools and some Mac OS X exclusive tools, security researchers can comfortably focus their efforts on this platform.
