Disadvantages of hacking on a Mac? - Cheeb - Jul 2, 2015
Do any of you use Mac OS for hacking? By hacking I mean more on the blackhat side, like using Rats. Do you feel like you have any limitations on a mac?
Thanks 🤝

Limitations? It is owned by Apple. 😁
On a serious note though, I don't think there should be any trouble. I mean, after all, it is running Unix.

Most programs have an OSX / Unix / Linux port or alternative. Usually every program you would want will be supported.
I reccomend Linux over Mac and OSX, but in reality, the OS you use doesn't matter. If you have skills, you will have those skills on every OS.

Lol. I do not support Mac / OSX at all because..you know....Apple. But, in all fairness, OSX is Unix-Like, so it doesn't differ much from Linux.
Having said that I personally prefer Linux and nothing will ever come close to replacing it for me. 😁

There are a lot of limitations. For one, Mac rats are generally hard to find, there are a few.

People that say Mac's are very similar to Unix / Linux are wrong, at least from my POV.
Linux requires much more, tech savvy knowledge to be able to run to its full potential.
Also, Linux OS's tend to be more open to, anonymizing people, which I don't think is so true for the Apple developers.

I totally agree that linux is a great OS for hacking, thats why I madr this thread. Im getting more into it, and I want to know if I should upgrade or not.
* - Fudster - Jul 2, 2015
Eh any OS is decent for hacking because a true hacker can program his own tools. Otherwise your just a skid. And yes I have some basic hacking via tools so I guess you can call me a skid

Yeah, but not for RAT... Save that junk for Windows. 😕
A disadvantage would be not having knowledge.

There's a lot more you can do with Unix-based system than Windows.

Because your skills and imagination are completely limited to an OS? If you can actually "hack" the OS doesn't mean shit lol these threads are stupid..
