Q: How do I enable apple internal protection in csrutil

I am working with System Integrity Protection and need to be able to enable Apple Internal with csrutil.  What is the syntax for this command. Does this have to be executed in the Recovery mode?

    If you are running El Capitan, it is already enabled.

    Did you disable it and now need to re-enable?

    I did not specifically disable this protection, but I noticed that when I ran a status while logged in to OS X this is disabled yet when I boot into the Recovery OS it is enabled.

     

    Scratching my head about this difference.

    System Integrity Protection by default is enabled in El Capitan.

     

    to learn if SIP is enabled or disabled, run the terminal command copy and paste:

     

    csrutil status

     

    . ... This command can be run without root privileges and will tell you if SIP is on or off.

     

     

    Follow these steps to disable SIP:

     

    Restart your Mac.

     

    Before OS X starts up, hold down Command-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.

    From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.

     

    type exactly the following and then press Return:

     

     

    csrutil disable

     

     

    Terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled.

     

    From the menu, select Restart.

     

     

    You can re-enable SIP just as easily by following the above steps, but using

     

    csrutil enable
