alt Hacker NewsDeactivating SIP is not that dangerous if you know what you’re doing. All it does it give back write access to root to some parts of the system.
Obviously, for the commoners, it is definitely not recommended, especially since they usually run random commands from stochastic engines w/o supervision… oh…… engineers do that too now? how in the hell???
I’m out.

To be fair, given the increasingly sneaky cyber attacks these days, the more layers of security between you and root access the better IMHO. Turning off SIP in today's environment is a bit nuts as it is a genuinely sensible security layer.
