I gather you hope to write the second application — the one that wages a denial-of-service attack against the first.
You needn’t bother looking for the answer.
If this is in service to some kind of DRM (I refuse to debate the value), investigate the method iTunes uses to prevent debuggers from attaching. I believe it’s available to other applications as well.
Depending on what you’re trying to accomplish, you might make progress by having your application pose as an assistive input method.
By the way, what _are_ you trying to accomplish? I assume you are not an evil mastermind.
