csrutil is a command line tool found on macOS systems. It stands for "System Integrity Protection" and is designed to protect the core functionality of the operating system. When enabled, csrutil restricts certain system modifications and administrative tasks to improve system security. It prevents unauthorized modifications to important system files and directories, ensuring stability and integrity. This tool is particularly useful in safeguarding against potential malware, unauthorized access, and system vulnerabilities. However, it also restricts some operations that may be required by advanced users or developers.
