Every time I tried to attach the debugger to the Installer’s process, the installer quit with “status = 45”, a sign that the debugger is being deliberately thwarted. That gave me pause to try and run the Installer in the lldb debugger and see exactly what it was up to, but – also another sign of malware – the Installer.app appears to have been coded precisely to stop that from being possible.

Examining both the binary and other files in the Installer bundle revealed some heavily obfuscated code that is really quite unusual to see in anything except malware. For one thing, the bundle identifier (a reverse domain-name style string used to uniquely identify an app on macOS) was the oddly titled, and the executable binary file was named hemorrhoid. After a support call asking me whether the MacGo player itself was malicious, I decided to look into what was going on in a bit more detail.ĭownloading the Mac Media Player from the developer’s site rewarded me with a DMG file called Macgo_Mac_Media_Player.dmg, and mounting that revealed the Installer.app (pictured above).Įxamining the package contents of Installer.app had a few surprises. Last week I added MacGo’s Mac Media Player.app to DetectX’s search definitions after finding that the installer was delivering MacKeeper on unsuspecting users. ~/Library/Application Support/MacKeeper Helper ~/Library/Application Support/MacKeeper 3 Library/Security/SecurityAgentPlugins/MKAuthPlugin.bundle - warning: deleting this file could harm your Mac!

It’s a powerful and easy-to-use password manager for Mac desktops as well as iPhone and iPad devices. Using 256-bit AES encryption, Keeper for Mac gives you a secure location for storing diverse passwords and other kinds of login information. The good news is that Keeper makes managing Mac passwords simple. Without secure password protection on your Mac, cybercriminals can steal your passwords, identity, money, personal information, and more. Password cracking schemes that use algorithms to guess passwords make short work of weak passwords, which is why those long, random, impossible-to-remember strings are so vital. It’s tempting to just write them all down on sticky notes or, even worse, use the same password for everything. It’s easy to get lazy about passwords, because remembering long, random strings of characters is a hassle.
