Mac OS X Sources indicate that OSx86 10.4.3 - which contains increased hardware restrictions - has now been cracked in the same fashion as 10.4.1. It was initially thought that these restrictions would slow the progress of hackers, but it appears that it has done little to deter those tackling the challenge. It appears that "Maxxuss" has outdone Apple yet again.

"There is NO restriction they could put in place that cannot be bypassed by anyone with a decent command of machine language and a good dissassembler... ESPECIALLY if you do profiling through a virtualization(as you can instantly tell exactly where in the code it's bombing). "

There's more to it than that. Part of the reason it's easy is because much like everything else. Making reverse-engineering hard is a set of compromises. Try this new wonder-cure, but it makes your whole program three times slower.
