You reply couldnt be more fanboi-ish. If that wasnt enuf you have a
documented history of being a apple fanboi (http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/hallofshame/line-noise_offended-pimpdouche.txt
)
Not once was it suggested that the OS isn't open to this sort of
attack.
You yourself said that the OS is resistant against this sort of attack
in the following quotes:
Well, password fields are "special" and are 'resistant' to key
logging, but you don't have to 'hook into' any apps to log the rest.
Understood - in this case, it's unsupported system hack time, since
the Mac OS X world takes a different approach to security which means
you have to work a bit harder.
Not once did the OP ask for a 'feature', and not once was the OP
criticized for asking for a way to do what he wanted.
The OP asked if such a feature existed, directly implying that if it
did not, then it would be a desired feature. Although you didn't
criticize him, Thomas Davie did with the following reply:
Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds a lot like
something that has been very very deliberately left out of any API...
I want to write an app that I'd like to have "hook" into a text box
in Safari and log your IDs, passwords, and bank account status.
Several different approaches to the (very loosely defined) problem
were offered by many different posters, in fact.
The OP's request couldn't be more straight forward. He said he wanted
to ""hook" into a text chat window from another app so that I can log
the incoming messages". I dont know what could be confusing about
logging text that is displayed in a text field, perhaps you could
elaborate on how this was confusing.
Either you're confusing this with another thread or you're trolling
for 'apple fanboy security' flamewars. Stick to Cocoa discussion on
the cocoa-dev list, please.
So im the troll huh? Which is why i'm posting with my real name
instead of a pseudonym like yourself. I suppose my post wasnt directly
Cocoa related, but it still dealt with OS X development, albeit at the
kernel level. If you would have bothered to check the email headers,
you would have seen that my message was sent with Apple Mail, which
would further reduce the likely hood of being a troll. And finally if
you would have bothered to google my email address you would find
plenty of posts on the darwin-dev lists critizing Apple's lack of
support for function hooking.
