Prior to the release of Leopard it was trivial to manipulate another
process's memory space as long as the processes were owned by the same
user. Now the user has to authorize against a specific right, run as
root, or the application trying to accomplish this has to be signed in
order for it to work. Aside from that, tho, the actual application or
reading/writing another process's memory space is still pretty trivial
using mach calls.Attachment:
