 * Apple MACOS X < 10.9/10? local root exploit
 * by mu-b - June 2010
 *
 * - Tested on: Apple MACOS X <= 10.8.X
 *
 * $Id: osx-irony-assist.m 16 2015-04-10 09:34:47Z mu-b $
 *
 * The most ironic backdoor perhaps in the history of backdoors.
 * Enabling 'Assistive Devices' in the 'Universal Access' preferences pane
 * uses this technique to drop a file ("/var/db/.AccessibilityAPIEnabled")
 * in a directory,
 *
 * drwxr-xr-x  62 root       wheel      2108  9 Apr 16:23 db
 *
 * without being root, now how did you do that?
 *
 * Copy what you want, wherever you want it, with whatever permissions you
 * desire, hmmm, backdoor?
 *
 * This is now fixed, so I guess this is OK :-)
