Insecure Déjà-vu experience

It seems some developers did not read the Developer Documentation properly, especially the topic about security:
[Full-disclosure] NETRAGARD-20060624 SECURITY ADVISORY] [ROXIO TOAST 7 TITANIUM - LOCAL ROOT COMPROMISE ]

In short, your Mac can be compromised locally and in the worst case data being erased because of the use of insecure system calls.

My tools and resources

If you ever wondered about what tools and resources I use for development, here they are:

Tools
Coding:
- SubEthaEdit – Collaborative text editor, great code highlighting
- XCode (of course)
- Terminal (my second home already, because we use a custom Makefile in Q)

Other Tools:
- Subversion – great version management
- Quicksilver – insanely great app launcher, along with the Developer Module even better for searching the Apple Developer Docs!
- Transmit – best FTP and SFTP client

Resources:
- Google search: cocoa …
- scotlandsoft
- Apple Developer Docs, of course
- CocoaDev.com
