Got root on OSX? Do you want to persist between reboots and have access whenever you need it? You do not need plists, new binaries, scripts, or other easily noticeable techniques. Kext programming and kernel patching can be troublesome! Leverage already running daemon processes to guarantee your access.
As the presentation will show, if given userland administrative access (read: root), how easy it is to persist between reboots without plists, non-native binaries, scripting, and kexts or kernel patching using the Backdoor Factory.
