Quoting my Google Mac Blog post in its entirety: A new version of MacFUSE is now available. As always, you can download a ready-to-install prebuilt package, or browse the ready-to-build source. Besides bug fixes and other minor improvements, there is a major new developer feature in this release: an Objective-C framework is now part of [...]
A while ago, I wrote about procfs for Mac OS X, a MacFUSE-based file system. Subsequently, I added more cool features to my procfs implementation. Recently, I had reason to demonstrate procfs again and realized that I needed still more cool features. That need led to GrabFS. In a pinch, GrabFS is a file system [...]
I found some time today to make a certain feature of HFSDebug work on Leopard. The new version is available for download here. The new version should run on both Leopard and Tiger, but there are no visible changes whatsoever for Tiger users. If you use HFSDebug, you might have realized that the -m option [...]

I don’t have an iPhone (and don’t really intend to get one), but for the iPhone-equipped curious operating system investigators, the iPhone Restore image downloadable from Apple’s web site has plenty of interesting details about the hardware and software composition of the iPhone, how some of the things work, and so on. Enjoy. (Hint: Looks [...]
Several years ago, while I was working at the IBM Almaden Research Center, we came up with a security mechanism called the Assured Execution Environment (AxE). We had implementations for Windows XP and Mac OS X. (Although AxE supports code signing as a feature, it’s not the same—in any case, this was long before code [...]
A few weeks ago, I released as open source a MacFUSE-based process file system for Mac OS X. I recently added several new features to this procfs implementation. Some of these features are "cool" in that they put a new twist on certain types of visual information. For example, there’s a folder /proc/system/hardware/displays/ that contains [...]
We did a MacFUSE talk at Google last week: Video on YouTube
Details on taking a snapshot of the memory and register state of a running process on Mac OS X, including source for a user-space program that does that.
People are welcome to join us at Google on Thursday, May 24, for an open-to-public talk on all things MacFUSE. I’m told that “Doors open at 6:30PM at Google’s Mountain View campus. Guests should plan to sign in at Building 41 reception upon arrival. Refreshments will be served…” Here’s an abstract: File systems provide one [...]
