The Mac OS X Expert Challenge 2005.1

The challenge encompasses two partially overlapping areas of expertise:

1. Operating System Internals
2. Security

My goals for this endeavor are the following:

• Probe popular interest in system-level Mac OS X topics. Knowledge of such interest is currently valuable to me as I am creating a book on such topics.
• Gauge the inquisitiveness and initiative of the Mac OS X community based on the kind of response generated.
• Use the outcome to roughly quantify Internet-wide Mac OS X expertise outside of Apple.
• Facilitate sharing of Mac OS X knowledge.
• At the very least, provide an interesting problem for some people to solve.
