What is a SIP protected binary

Hello,

I am read some binaries are "SIP protected". SIP means System Integrity Protection. I know this is a security mechanism under macOS.

But i don't understand what is a "SIP protected binary". Is it a binary located in a specific folder ? Is it a binary signed with "hardened runtime" ?

Thanks

I am read some binaries are "SIP protected".

Where did you read that?

I’m happy to talk about this stuff but I’d like to see the context of that quote because AFAIK Apple doesn’t generally use that term.

Share and Enjoy
