What is ZhuGeSupport.framework service on macOS? Hi, a similar question has already been asked in "The mystery of ZhuGe Service?" thread. Though, it was suggested that this services was "just a part of coreaudio", it still looks suspicious. Especially when checking the list of allowed permissions that it has: $ codesign -d --entitlements - /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ZhuGeSupport.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices/ZhuGeService.xpc/Contents/MacOS/ZhuGeService Full list doesn't fit here, but here are just some of them: [String] RosalineSerialNumber [String] RoswellChipID [String] SavageChipID [String] SavageInfo [String] SavageSerialNumber [String] SavageUID [String] ScreenSerialNumber [String] SecondaryBluetoothMacAddress [String] SecondaryBluetoothMacAddressData [String] SecondaryEthernetMacAddress [String] SecondaryEthernetMacAddressData [String] SecondaryWifiMacAddress [String] SecondaryWifiMacAddressData [String] SecureElementID [String] SerialNumber [String] SysCfg [String] SysCfgDict [String] ThreadRadioMacAddress [String] ThreadRadioMacAddress64Bit [String] ThreadRadioMacAddress64BitData [String] ThreadRadioMacAddressData [String] TopModuleAuthChipID [String] TristarID [String] UniqueChipID [String] UniqueDeviceID [String] UniqueDeviceIDData [String] WifiAddress [String] WifiAddressData [String] WirelessBoardSnum Why would a "mere audio service" need to access all the available hardware identifiers? Or the real purpose of this service is something else, like reporting and tracking the user identification / fingerprint? And who gets this information? The name of the service suggests it has some Chinese roots... It's very strange to see such unusual naming choice for a core service, if it's really a core service. Although, it's reported as being signed by Apple, but that only raises more questions: $ codesign -d -vv /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ZhuGeSupport.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices/ZhuGeService.xpc/Contents/MacOS/ZhuGeService Executable=/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ZhuGeSupport.framework/Versions/A/XPCServices/ZhuGeService.xpc/Contents/MacOS/ZhuGeService Identifier=com.apple.ZhuGeService Format=bundle with Mach-O universal (x86_64 arm64e) CodeDirectory v=20400 size=1743 flags=0x0(none) hashes=44+7 location=embedded Platform identifier=13 Signature size=4442 Authority=Software Signing Authority=Apple Code Signing Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Signed Time=Jun 18, 2022 at 3:57:35 AM Info.plist entries=21 TeamIdentifier=not set Sealed Resources version=2 rules=2 files=0 Internal requirements count=1 size=72
