Everything runs smoothly until a CAPTCHA appears on the path. In the browser, a familiar window pops up: "I am not a robot," or a grid of images where you need to find traffic lights or pedestrian crossings. The automatic script halts, tests fail, and an inexperienced developer might not even realize the problem for a long time — after all, they set everything up and started it, but didn’t account for the presence of CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart), designed precisely to stop bots.

В сегодняшней статье я поделюсь примерами поиска возможных уязвимостей (и соответственно эксплоитов под уязвимости), причем, постараюсь проводить поиск по программному обеспечению от корпорации Apple.Среди моих коллег, друзей, товарищей, знакомых, соседей и близких бытует мнение о том, что платформы macOS и iOS неуязвимы, несокрушимы. Это не совсем так. В начале моей сегодняшней статье я немного развею это утверждение, просто обнаружив в базах эксплоитов примеры возможных эксплоитов под эти системы. Причем покажу я примеры использования не только веб-приложения базы, но и программ, таких как searchsploit и metasploit.Но на этом я не стану ограничиваться и покажу приблизительное количество известных эксплоитов (и соответсвенно уязвимостей) и под другие ОС и проведу некоторую статистику.
