Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00071 | $0.01950 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00975 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00390 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00195 |
Grade A, and why
hunt-macos scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Hunt: macOS
Assumes hunt-core for the scope gate, two-account rule, confirmation gate, enumeration limits, stop conditions, wiki protocol, FIND output, and Deadends. Do not re-derive any of that here.

Hub: [[macos-moc]] (live index). Primary page: [[macos-tcc]]. Payload arsenal: wiki/payloads/macos-app-injection.md.
Anchors: [[macos-privesc]] (general privesc checklist), [[macos-keychain]] (credential/DB harvest).
Environment note
macOS boxes on THM/HTB are usually a VM (not real Apple hardware) - SIP/Gatekeeper/TCC still apply as shipped, but device-specific protections (Secure Enclave, T2) generally do not. Confirm root/admin vs a sandboxed app context before picking an escalation path - the sandbox-escape and TCC-bypass techniques below assume different starting points.
Attack surface signals
Detected via: SSH/service banner (Darwin, Mac OS X 10., macOS 1[1-5]), a .app bundle / .plist
delivered as a foothold vector, Bonjour/mDNS (5353), ARD/screen-sharing (5900/3283), SMB served by
smbd with a macOS-flavoured share layout, or a CTF prompt naming macOS/Darwin explicitly.
Footholds: a delivered .pkg/.dmg/.app (installer/Gatekeeper abuse), a web app or service running
as a low-priv user, physical/VNC/screen-sharing access to a logged-in session.
Rank the surface once you have a foothold:
- TCC / SIP / Gatekeeper / AMFI - the macOS-specific security stack; a bypass here is the signature finding of this class and the primary path to protected data or unsigned code exec.
- Keychain / credential loot - highest reward-per-effort; a login-keychain dump or a reused hash often beats grinding a hardened control (see chaining note).
- XPC / dylib / library injection - inherit a privileged or entitled process's rights; the main local-privesc lever once enumeration finds a vulnerable service or a hijackable load path.
- Sandbox escape - only relevant from a sandboxed app context; escapes to the full user context.
- MDM / installer abuse - a
.pkgpostinstall runs as root at install time; MDM enrollment reaches the whole fleet. Highest blast radius when either is present.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hunt-macos is a skill published in the GitHub repository Encod3d-Sec/TORCH (303 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,950 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
