On #Apple #Exclaves (M4 and A18 based systems). Exclaves are a new set of #security features that represent a significant enhancement for XNU’s traditional monolithic kernel. Exclaves refer to resources that are isolated from #XNU, protected even if the #kernel is compromised. These resources are pre-defined when the OS is built, are identified by name or id, have different types, are initialised at boot time, and are organized into unique domains. #SPTM protects exclave memory from XNU with new exclave-specific page types. https://randomaugustine.medium.com/on-apple-exclaves-d683a2c37194
