Filevault encryption key on macOS
Hello, It is possible to encrypt a mac's hard-drive with Filevault. All home user folders are encrypted with the same encryption key. (This is the same encryption key for the whole hard-drive). This encryption key is encrypted with user password. But i don't understand how it works when there are multiple user accounts. Maybe there is a table: The same encryption key is stored several times (one per user account) ? Is there a way for a user to read the filevault encryption key ? Thanks

Write in /System folder on macOS Sonoma
Hello, I know this is not a good practice but i want to make a test. I would like to write a file into /System folder on macOS Sonoma. I have tried to reboot in recovery mode. I have disabled SIP. But i can't write into /System. This folder is mounted as read only. How can i write into this folder ? I know there is a kind of checksum mechanism to check if something has been modified in /System folder and i want to see what happens if this checksum does not match. Thanks

Safari microphone access
Hello, I am browsing with Safari. A website asks me to access my microphone (it is a Safari prompt dialog, not a system dialog). I am answering "yes, you can access to my microphone". Everything works fine, my microphone is allowed. Now, i am going to macOS system settings, in "Privacy & Security" section. I open "Microphone" sub section: And i don't see any entry for Safari. My question is ... Why ? Safari is accessing to my microphone at this moment and i don't see any grant information about this in system settings... Maybe apple allows his own softwares but this is not good for security... I hope it is not the same behaviour for full disk access grant... Thanks
