Underneath the Mac OS X directory
/audit
I have certain files which users can access and chmod
to their liking.
I need to audit any chmod
done on any files by recording the time, user and file being chmod
, especially the latter.
I can dtrace -n 'syscall::chmod:entry'
and detect the events, how do I read the first argument to chmod
?
man 2 chmod
tells me the path is in the first argument:
chmod(const char *path, mode_t mode);
but how can I read args
? I think I am doing this the wrong way around.. perhaps entry doesn't correspond to the actual syscall?
If I have a probe I can monitor, how can I check which parameters it offers for access and what types they are? I am assuming some pointers will need to be dereferenced based on their data layout..
