Nm-tool For Mac

Active6 years ago

I've just started working with some debugging utilities including nm. I want to analyze some programs on my computer. A few that I have downloaded like Sublime Text work just fine using both:

Using the MAC Address tool. The MAC Address tool enables you to discover what MAC addresses are present on your network and gives you the opportunity to obtain physical connectivity information for devices on your network. The Command Line Tool package gives Mac terminal users many commonly used tools, utilities, and compilers, including make, GCC, clang, perl, svn, git, size, strip, strings, libtool, cpp, what, and many other useful commands that are usually found in default linux installations. One of the things that can cause nm to choke is the DRM on Mac App Store and App Store purchases. If your copy of ForkLift happened to come from a source employing DRM this can cause diagnostic tools like nm to fail to function or to return results that are incomplete, inconsistent, or otherwise incorrect. This system is not using DHCP, everything is statically configured, but just in case I went into /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and added 'prepend domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8' thinking this would manually add 8.8.8.8 on top of the DNS servers I see in nm-tool.

However other apps I try and analyze throw errors like the following:

It seems as though you are learning about the capabilities of these tools, how they work, and when are the right kinds of situations to use such tools — GREAT! Start with smaller, simple apps that aren't wrapped by a DRM protection layer and work your way up to more complex pieces of software. It is amazing what you can learn about an app!

These tools can be used on DRM protected binaries, however I must respectfully decline to discuss more on that particular facet of this natural follow up question.
