About Dylib Hijack Scanner
Dylib Hijack Scanner checks for dynamic-library loading conditions that could allow a hijack and for signs of an existing one. It is an inspection utility for investigating a specific class of macOS security issue.
Findings require interpretation and can include susceptible software that has not been compromised. The official product page describes the scanning approach and limitations.
