Disadvantages of hacking on a Mac?

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.

I mean limitations on the software side. Like what code can run on macs/and what things you can download. VPNs and stuff like that.

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.
"A man with nothing that he loves... is a man who cannot be bargained. A man that cannot betrayed. A man who answers to no one... but himself."
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.
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

lol let me convert my username to binary so i can look like a hacker h3h3h3h3h3
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.
PM for help
BTC is welcome
*Crack hashes/WPA handshakes here* *Change IP here*


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..
