How to Defang macOS System Protections

If you want to change things on the root drive of a Mac you will need to take some steps to disable the built in security of the system. Most of these steps are the same regardless if you are on Intel or Apple Silicon. If there is a difference it is noted.

Note that all of these things put a Mac into an unsupported and less secure state.

Make sure you either perform these steps in a VM or that you reset the protections after you are done poking around

Protections and Terms

(This list is not exahustive on the details of each. Check the links at the end for more info.)

Tcpdump

Tcpdump is a commandline tool that is used to dump traffic on a network. This tool comes in hand when you want to analyse network captures within the command line. Basically it can do most of the wireshark job.

NOTE This guide might not be complete it just serve as a reference to me.

Completely reset TCC services database in macOS

Note: Both the system and individual users have TCC databases; run the script as both
      a user and as root to completely reset TCC decisions at all levels.

2018-08-15: Resetting the 'Location' service fails; unknown cause
2018-08-16: Confirmed the 'All' service does not really reset _all_
            services, so individual calls to each service is necessary.
