Summary

The post walks through the reverse-engineering of com.apple.audio.driver.app, an unsigned, UPX-packed, Free Pascal-compiled macOS binary that references TCC.db to grant itself accessibility rights, masquerades as a document with a fake credential prompt, persists via a launch daemon, and beacons to a command server.
